Jakarta Skyline Night

This city takes on a completely different persona at night. Always bustling even through the night. It is interesting to see even the street markets stay open late and open very early in the morning. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Istiqlal Mosque Dome

This mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia, is subtly beautiful. The dome of course is what stands out the most with its copper color and detail. I am grateful to have been able to visit this location. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and accommodating! https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Looking Toward Monas

The Jakarta skyline at night is a quite a sight. Everything leads to the city center with Monas lit up bright in the distance. You could go out anytime even into the night and find something to do. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Mosque Drum Detail

Details such as this always make me melt. There is a large drum within Istiqlal Mosque used for call to prayer and it is supported by these columns. The detail is like this all the way around the drum. 500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Wood Detail Istiqlal

This wood detail was just a small piece inside Istiqlal Mosque. Incredibly intricate it decorated the side of a raised podium. I wish there was more of this throughout the Mosque, but it was wonderful seeing this. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Istiqlal Mosque Courtyard

Looking out at the courtyard of Istiqlal Mosque. It is amazing to think that every tan rectangle will have a person during prayer time. The entire courtyard as well as inside will have a person to each rectangle! https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Istiqlal Mosque

Istiqlal Mosque is the largest Mosque in Southeast Asia. It is simple yet stunning. The people there are very friendly and open about their religion. It was a pleasure to be able to take a tour! https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Thinking Macaw

This guy didn't seem to care at all about me and ignored me for the mot part. Him and all his friends were way more interested in picking up dropped food by other passer byers. 500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Bikes

This line of bikes is quite the contrast from the rest of Jakarta. This area is heavily Dutch influenced and is reflected in these bike rentals. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Indonesian Landscape

The Indonesian landscape has some beautiful gems if you can find your way to them. This is one of the prettiest sunsets I have encountered and I am truly grateful to have experienced it. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Kota Tua Old Town

Old Town in Jakarta is a wonderful area rich in history. Heavily Dutch influenced, there are many good places to eat and unique buildings to discover. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Wonogiri Lookout

This lookout toward Wonogiri and Waduk Gadjah Mungkur is absolutely amazing. It was so still that evening, I felt like I could hear the slightest rustle of the trees. I wonder what that small community there does on a evening such as this? https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Fish Stripe

Aqua Pink

Turtle of the Sea

I wish I could have seen this guy in the wild. Swimming gracefully in the ocean is where he belongs, though I am glad to see him nonetheless. Jakarta's aquarium though small still has a decent variety of marine life. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Lion of the Sea

This Lion Fish floated majestically just waiting for me to take its picture. Quite photogenic if you ask me. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Giant Grouper

Thats a big fish.......I don't even have anything else to say. Pretty sure these guys move as little as possible until they feed. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Inside Out

This is a view that I dont think I have seen anywhere else. What lies beneath the surface? This exhibit shows us just that at the Jakarta Aquarium. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Suction Cups

The details of the suction cups are amazing! This exhibit shows the insides of some of the local marine life around Jakarta, https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Lost in a Daze

I always like watching jellyfish swim and hover weightless in the water. They are so completely alien, but beautiful. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Green Surreal

I could watch these guys all day. The way they flow and float through the water is mesmerizing. So fluid in their movements! Plus the colors they can take on depending the light they are in is awesome. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Motorbike Indonesia

Motor bikes like this are abundant in Indonesia and is one of the most popular forms of transportation. In the city there are crowds of bikes and somehow they seem to flow in and out of traffic. Its really quite amazing. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Borobudur Statue

A statue standing guard at the entrance to Borobudur.

Borobudur

The iconic Borobudur was absolutely amazing to explore. The detail in the reliefs were azmazing on every level.

Borobudur Forest

Looking out over the forest from the Borobudur grounds. Coming from a state that is typically dry, this is quite the experience see so much green.

Reliefs Borobudur

Close up look at some of the relief carvings at the iconic Borobudur temple. 500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Borobudur Corridor

Walking the corridors of Borobudur. Detail around every corner! It would take days to fully examine every wall. If you visit Borobudur make sure to get there early as it gets crowded later in the day. Plus a sunrise here is amazing! https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Walking Borobudur

One can get lost down the pathways of Borobudur. Everything escapes you and you just walk. Every step is new, every step has the potential to take your breath away. 500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

A Chance at Borobudur

I wonder where the next adventure will take you. I see it being just as wonderful, but possibly more meaningful. The chances we take do not always pay off, but maybe if we take care and commit ourselves fully it may work out. This is why we take chances, because it is in the journey that we actually live. 500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com

Lost in Borobudur

Walking the corridors of Borobudur. Detail around every corner! It would take days to fully examine every wall. There is a calmness in circling the temple grounds. https://500px.com/linksproductions www.linksproductionsllc.com
