In Perfect Poise

In Perfect Poise
Travelling from Solo City, we hired a couple of sampans to take us out onto Lake Rawa Pening right at the break of dawn. The name Rawa Pening literally means “clear swamp”. Its clear waters provided beautiful reflections of the surrounding area including views of the neighbouring Mount Merapi, an active volcano that erupted as recently as in 2006. The boatman we hired posed gamely for us by casting his fishing net into the clear waters. Rapid clicking of camera shutters followed his beautifully balanced poise and action.

A break from the candid people shots taken in Solo City, Indonesia… The above picture was taken at the little known (for now) Klayar Beach, on the southern coast of East Java. To reach the area at the right time in the right light, we had to wake up at an unearthly hour and travel way before the sun came up. We were rewarded by the sight of the powerful waves from the Indian Ocean crashing into the coast.

Where The Oceans Meet

Where The Oceans Meet
I will soon be making a photo-intensive trip to Indonesia with my dad… While we wait for photos from that trip, here are more photos from my visit to Western Australia last month. The above is taken near Cape Leeuwin in Augusta which is known as the most south-westerly mainland point of the Australian Continent. The Cape is also considered the point where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean — hence the title for the shot.
