View through the morning mist from the top of the staircase up Mt Bromo to the Hindu temple Pura Luhur Poten on the Sea of Sand beside Mt Batok. Tourists on their morning sunrise tour finish the trip by climbing up from the temple, the smell of sulphur getting stronger as they near the top of the mountain.

Sunrise over Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. To the left Mt Bromo steams in the early morning cold air while Mt Batok, the only non active volcano in the park, is the perfect volcano cone in the foreground. In the distance the highest peak on Java, Mt Semeru, can be seen.

At the top of Mt Bromo, a Tenggerese is wrapped up against the cold. He is one of the workers who collect sulphur from the inside the caldera.
