Papuma Cape Coast is located at Sumberejo village, Ambulu, Jember district, 37 km to the south of downtown. Access road to the beach is good, because it has been hardened with asphalt. Contained in the Tanjung Papuma (Papuma Cape Coast) there are hills and forest area of ​​approximately 50 acres filled with unspoiled heterogeneous plants, such as palm, shaved, and a variety of other small trees. The forest still keeps the sharing of tropical flora and fauna, such as various types of birds and also monkeys hanging on the trees.

Pick Up Sunset

 

Nice to meet friends with the same hobby in a beautiful place, like the picture that I take it. This photo was taken at Papuma beach, Jember.

Tobacco Barn

 

Rustic impression abroad so pronounced when looking at the view like this. Barn building made ​​of bamboo and the roof welit we encounter along the way between Tanggul to Rambipuji, Jember. The barn itself is a function of the storage area to be used as export quality tobacco cigar.

Rows Of Roof

 

This is a 3D image of my architecture design project. The building functioned as art galleries, furniture showrooms and restaurants. The idea of ​​building form is inspired by the traditional house that is widely available in Indonesia. With a bit of a modern twist on the wide glass element in some parts, be it building a unique look. Plan the location of buildings in Kuta Bali.

Perfect Reflection

Surabaya Zoo is one of the popular zoo in Indonesia, located in the No. Setail. 1 Surabaya,

Surabaya Zoo is a zoo that once complete in Southeast Asia, in which there are more than 351 different species of animals which consists of more than 2,806 animals. Includes Indonesian endangered species and the world consisted of Mammalian, Aves, Reptile, and Pisces.

Some time ago condition is very concern. Many animals died because of various reasons. In the neighborhood look dirty and shabby. All this happened due to the power struggle by the various parties who feel entitled to the existence of Surabaya zoo.

Fortunately, all of that is gone, due to start this month Surabaya Zoo has officially managed by the City Government of Surabaya after a long struggle.

Currently revamping the efforts of the new management, paint the cage, dredging the moat surrounding the apes habitat etc..

Hopefully things are going better than ever.

Lights Across The Sea

 

SURAMADU BRIDGE This bridge is the link between Java (Surabaya) and the island of Madura (Bangkalan), across the straits of Madura. 

They call it the SuraMadu Bridge (Surabaya - Madura). It is the longest bridge in Indonesia (5438 m) and was completed in 2009. Construction of the bridge is intended to accelerate and improve the lives of the Madurese are lagging economy compared with other areas of East Java. With the bridge, Surabaya and East Java generally have one icon again to be proud of their people. Hopefully, this bridge is really beneficial for the development of local communities towards a better standard of living.

Bridge Is Too Far ( In A Painting )

 

Due to the location of the bridge is too far from the village, the people of this village are very willing to take dangerous risks. They cross the wide and fast-flowing river with a small boat. Not only people, but also with vehicle (bicycle or motorcycle). In the event of an accident then life is at stake, because they are not equipped with a safety buoys.

Silence Morning

 

Fun seeing the sights in the morning on the beach, where fishing boats resting on the beach of the fishing activities at night. 

The morning was so quiet, the sea water was high tide and the morning sun began to rise.

Peaceful

 

This is the environment in which the Sanggar Agung temple. Surrounded by lush mangrove plants makes this temple was cool and peaceful as a place of worship for the people of Tri Dharma (Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian) 

Visible, green roofs amid lush mangrove trees are the main building Sanggar Agung temples . In the distance seem too Kwam Im Goddess statue towering approximately 20 meters and located that juts into the sea makes this temple is not only noble but also exotic. Still one location to the Temple of Heaven, Sanggar Agung at the beach resort, Kenpark.

Temple Of Heaven

 

I am not in China though I took this picture a pagoda building with the feel of a strong China. 

This is a duplicate similar buildings located in Beijing. Temple of Heaven. The building is located in the east coast tourist area of ​​Surabaya, precisely Pantai Ria Kenjeran or now better known as Kenpark.

The Top Of The Temple

 

The whole temple was made of brick red, except for the steps and the inside roof of the stones. In relation to form a roofed gate, Bajangratu Temple facing both directions, that is east-west. The height of the temple to the top of the roof is 16.1 m and a length of 6.74 m. Gate Bajangratu have wings on the right and left.

Memory Remain

 

Bajang Ratu gate or also known as the Candi Bajang Ratu is a gate / relic temple in the village of Majapahit Temon, District Trowulan, Mojokerto, East Java. 

The building was probably built in the 14th century and is one of the big gate in the heyday of Majapahit. According to the Heritage Preservation Board Mojokerto, temple / gate serves as the entrance to the shrine to commemorate the death of King Jayanegara in Negarakertagama called "back to the world of Vishnu" in 1250 Saka (circa 1328 AD). But actually before his death Jayanegara this temple used as a back door of the kingdom. This conjecture is supported by the relief "Sri Tanjung" and release symbolizes the wings of the gate and up to now in the region has become a cultural Trowulan if required mourn the dead through the back door.

Over The Cliff

 

In the world of architecture, land is something that is important to be considered when someone would put up buildings. The most common and most often we encounter people like to build on flat land, because of minimal risk. 

But not so for those who like a challenge, extreme land is something interesting. The building will be more dramatic when established on land that is not unusual, as seen in this picture. 

The hotel building complex stands on a steep rock cliff at one location in the tourist area of ​​Batu, East Java.

In Action

 

Many vital objects in Surabaya is the goal of the photographer, and one of them has become an icon of Surabaya is Suramadu bridge. Sunday the place is always crowded with travelers, photography enthusiasts are no exception. Look at their behavior when in action, serious but also funny, it's very fun to see it. Maybe someone else who saw me taking photographs feel what I feel at this moment.

Twilight Romance

 

Sunday afternoon in the Suramadu (Surabaya side) so crowded, congested by the crowd. Children, adolescents and the elderly here. I'm trying to find a quiet place away from the crowds, not for dating but looking good angle for pictures of that. The result, can be found here. A pair of lovers who are in love sitting on the wall on the shoreline enjoying panoramic sea sunset, so romantic. While the Suramadu bridge in the distance look began to spread fascination with the colors of the lights .... beautiful!

The Way Back Home

 

I took this picture when it comes down from the mountain top Ijen. 

I saw a tourist who was cool with his camera to capture the scenery around. Ijen mountain beauty not only lies in its wide crater and turquoise colored it. But the area around the mountain chains there adds special attraction is still an active volcano which has a height of 2799 m above sea level is.

The Village

 

The village is named Wonosari but better known as Nongkojajar. Located in the district of East Java Tutur Pasuruan district. 

Nongkojajar located at the foot of Mount Bromo and is one of the gates that passed when we were heading to Mount Bromo. Unfortunately access from here is less popular than those from Probolinggo. 

Nongkojajar village has a variety of uniqueness and potential of authentic natural beauty of the mountainous area that is not owned by other regions. In addition to a vast estate with a variety of fruit trees and vegetables, Nongkojajar is a cow's milk production centers considerable potential in East Java.

Waiting For Something

 

 My step increasingly short and unsteady 

fatigue, boredom or stupidity over me? 

I closed my eyes, 

I tried searching for the answer in vague 

I opened my eyes, 

I saw the distant future, blankly! 

Shadows will tomorrow, 

making me to fret ..... 

(ANWARROV) 

This picture shows the other side of Ngliyep beach. The beach is

located on the shores of Indian Ocean, precisely in the village Kedungsalam Donomulyo district, 62 km from southern city of Malang. Ngliyep beach is a beach with natural beauty that is still natural with a mix of steep cliffs and protected areas around the coast

The Waves

 

Life is like a waves 

Sometimes calm soothing the soul 

But when an unexpected 

tranquility was changed to surge 

a roar of anger, it is called a hurricane 

Likewise human life 

There are two parts in the soul that comes and goes, 

attract one another like waves 

Souls who make peaceful quiet 

But sometimes uncontrollable anger, it's scary 

As the storm ocean waves 

Very scary .....

Morning Moon

 

The sun's a light bulb and the moon is a mirror 

There are times when you can see both the bulb and the mirror 

See the bulb in a mirror and that's a morning moon 

Say those little things that don't make anyone feel better 

(The Tragically Hip)

Twilight On The Hill

When I See You Smile

 

Sometimes I wonder How I’d ever make it through, 

Through this world without having you 

I just wouldn’t have a clue 

‘ Cause sometimes it seems 

Like this world’s closing in on me, 

And there’s no way of breaking free 

And then I see you reach for me 

Sometimes I wanna give up 

I wanna give in, 

I wanna quit the fight 

And then I see you, baby 

And everything’s alright, 

everything’s alright 

When I see you smile 

I can face the world, oh oh, 

you know I can do anything 

When I see you smile 

I see a ray of light, oh oh, 

I see it shining right through the rain 

When I see you smile Oh yeah, 

baby when I see you smile at me 

Baby there’s nothing in this world 

that could ever do 

What a touch of your hand can do 

It’s like nothing that I ever knew 

And when the rain is falling 

I don’t feel it, 

’cause you’re here with me now 

And one look at you baby 

Is all I’ll ever need, 

you’re all I’ll ever need 

Sometimes I wanna give up 

I wanna give in, 

I wanna quit the fight 

And then I see you baby 

And everything’s alright, 

everything’s alright So right…

When Love Must Choose

My anxiety increasingly being

from day to day

Endless wait makes me hate

on doubts

Is it not doubt urgent heart

when the desire to love

hindered by the presence indecipherable

Would not it be better this lie

we get rid of the heart

so we can make love with the rest

sincerity that we have

Or do you want these lies continue

over time an increasingly galloping pace

Let the lies just keep continuing

I still love the rest of sincerity I have

Wrong when pressed doubts heart?

Dilemma

 

The growth of the population of the earth so rapidly much impact on all aspects of life, not the exception, and the most vital is the food sector. Indonesia as an agricultural country is certainly faced with a very difficult choice. On one side must meet the food needs of its population from the agricultural sector, but on the other hand how to maintain or, more precisely control the land so as not to damage the natural environment. But the fact that there is deforestation happening everywhere.
Photo above shows the severity of the destruction took place, albeit for a good cause. The hill was once a dense forest.

Crystal Pond

 

Salt is one requirement that is complementary need for food and a source of electrolytes for the human body. Although Indonesia is a maritime country, but efforts to improve salt production has not been popular, including in efforts to improve quality. On the other hand, for the need of good quality salt (calcium and magnesium content of less) many imported from outside country, especially in this case of iodized salt and industrial salt.

The image above was taken in the village of Banjar Kemuning Sedati Sidoarjo, shows the salt ponds were laborer activities.

Nambangan Beach

 

Nambangan, is the name of a beach in the north coast of Surabaya. The composition of rounded pebbles great as a land barrier from abrasion seawater arranged neatly along the coast. Adjacent to the Suramadu bridge, Nambangan a strategic place to enjoy the view of the longest bridge in Indonesia, especially at night when the bridge sprinkled with colorful lights, amazing! Suitable place for photographers.

The Rock

 

This picture shows the other side of Ngliyep beach. The beach is located on the shores of Indian Ocean, precisely in the village Kedungsalam Donomulyo district, 62 km from southern city of Malang.

Harmony

Cangar have cool air and fertile soil are producing vegetables and fruit potential in East Java. Apple, strawberry, potatoes, carrots, cabbage and others thrives in this area. 

Photo above shows the adjoining farm in harmony with nature and the beautiful mountains as a backdrop.

Welcome To The Clouds

 

Nice to leave the house to see cloudy skies with a beautiful setup. Can not wait to capture the beautiful moments through a camera that had been prepared. As shown in the image above, the clouds look so dramatic ...... I think so.

This image was taken at the main gate Citraland, a real estate in ​​West Surabaya.

Menyongsong Fajar di Puncak Ijen

 

Arloji di tangan menunjuk angka 3 dini hari, sepagi itu saya sudah siap keluar penginapan sederhana di lereng gunung Ijen, Paltuding namanya. Tempat dimana segala aktifitas pendakian ke gunung Ijen dimulai, tempat dimana pengunjung wajib lapor ke pos penjagaan, tempat dimana kendaraan kita parkir, tempat dimana kita mendirikan tenda dan istirahat sesaat, tempat dimana kita bisa makan minum di warung sederhana.

The Other Side Of Madura Again

 

Belum lama ini saya mencoba bernostalgia, nyebrang ke Madura via penyebrangan Ujung - Kamal (UK) dengan kapal feri. Dalam bayangan saya setelah adanya Jembatan Suramadu (JS) keberadaan jasa penyebrangan ini bakal kehilangan pamor dan perlahan-lahan akan redup sebelum kemudian ditutup. Ternyata perkiraan saya salah. Penyebrangan UK masih diminati warga. Buktinya antrian panjang kendaraan bermotor dan penumpang masih terjadi (apa karena ini hari Minggu dan banyak warga Madura yang mudik). Meski tidak sepadat dan seramai dulu ketika JS masih belum dibangun.

The Other Side Of Madura

Madura identik dengan kegersangan, semua orang tau itu. Tapi tahu kah anda bahwa dibalik kegersangan itu Madura menyimpan banyak eksotisme didalannya. Satu diantaranya adalah eksotisme pertaniannya.

Minggu early morning beberapa waktu lalu saya sudah melintas diatas jembatan Suramadu. Selepas jembatan, tepatnya di perempatan desa Alang Alang arah Kwanyar mata keranjang saya yang jelalatan tergelitik oleh satu penampakan yang memukau.

Computerize dalam Musik Masa Kini

Meyebut Scorpions (grup band) kita pasti ingat Jerman. Tapi di Jerman grup band bukan cuma Scorpions. Ada banyak grup band disana, salahsatunya adalah KRAFTWERK (pembangkit tenaga listrik). Nah, nama yang satu ini mungkin masih belum begitu familiar untuk sebagian pecinta musik di negeri ini. Wajar, karena genre musik yang diusungnya sedikit "tak lazim". Kalau Scorpions bergenre rock, tapi Kraftwerk lebih ke arah techno.

" PASTOR " yang Jago Main Bass Gitar

Pria kelahiran Pennsylvania, 1 Desember 1951 ini tergolong brilian dan jenius. Bakatnya dibidang musik jazz (khususnya pemain bass) bisa dibilang diatas rata-rata. Bagaimana tidak, diusianya yang masih (relatif) muda dia telah membuat gebrakan yang inovatif dan cemerlang. Sejarah mencatatnya sebagai musisi revolusioner.
