Landscape Pictures
More pictures from my Bromo trip… I caught a quick glimpse of some local Tenggerese heading home at the end of the day while we were out scouting for pictures in this picturesque village in Cemoro Lawang. The quality of the lighting and the unusual framing offered by the surrounding foilage attracted me to take this picture.
The sky might have been “bland” in my previous post (although I still love the colours and the silhouettes!), but the clouds finally decided to put on a spectacular show for us in the evening. This is one of many shots I took as the sun descended over the village nearby our hotel in the Cemoro Lawang area. The cloud patterns changed very quickly over a short span of minutes — I will post more pictures for comparison in the near future 😀
One of the must-dos when visitng Mount Bromo: get up at 4am, take either a horse or jeep to the foot of the mountain, and trudge up the mountain in the dark. Your reward: pristine clear skies with thousands of twinkling stars (sometimes a shooting star or two if you’re lucky) during the climb, and a glorious sunrise when you finally arrive. This particular shot of sunrise at Mount Bromo was taken at about 5.30am just slightly after we arrived from our climb.
