THe photos I choose is about "1st Suro" in the Keraton Surakarta - Central of Java. It tradionational ritual that we doing it once a year. the royal family once a year bring out their heirloom, take around the city of Surakarta barefoot (it's around 8km) at night following tha labino Buffalo. all people that come and watch, believe on the albino buffalo feces can bring a great vertilities on their field if they spread the feces. Every people come from so many cities around Solo, race to get the feces. this is a great tradition to keep and continue.
