    2,958 Meters Above The Sea in Hunt for The Moon

    Indonesia

    There are [5] photos and [1] story about Indonesia

    It is only around 10 degrees celcius here camping at the peak of Mount Gede, but harsh wind is blowing a bit agressively so we were chilled to the bone waiting for the sun to rise from the faraway sea. Thankfully, the sun turns out really exquisite with really beautiful contrast on my eyes that time. by: andre_quatzal Views[499] Anaphalis javanica (insert italic here for latin name), or simply Javanese Edelweiss, is an exotic flower growing especially in higher regions around Java, here shown 200 meters below the peak of Mount Gede. We are very lucky to have the flowers blossoming in such fine weather with no cloud in sky. by: andre_quatzal Views[1234] Leading on to the wait for the supermoon to rise from the back of the mountain trails, we were provided with a view of a sea of clouds under us from where we waited. by: andre_quatzal Views[254] Out from all the pictures that I managed to take of the moon, this one is the one which turned rather perfect. Being only a compact camera, I tried really hard for it to get the longest shutter speed time and with my hand not moving at all. I have to hold my breath for around 5 seconds for it to turn like this. The moon was shown to be rising from behind the wall that is the road to the peak of the mountain. It was really bright, although it may not seem as big as it should be. by: andre_quatzal Views[290] The sunset view from the peak of Mount Gede (2,958 meters). The wind had blown rather harshly this time around, yet along with it we have to walk across the trail provided to where we are going to camp and wait for the supermoon. Also shown in this photo is the peak of Mount Pangrango (3,019 meters), a sister mountain to Mount Gede. It was said that it would only take 3 hours to walk peak to peak, but we decided not to because my crews said the scenery from there is dissapointing. by: andre_quatzal Views[514]

    It has been my lifelong dream to become one of those who travel uncharted lands and write about it. Being a travel photojournalist (and, if possible, for National Geographic) is a big thing for me, and has since long ago been a personal passion. I wrote ... Read more >
