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! 

 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.

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 .....

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

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.

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.
