Cukul Tea Plantation, Pangalengan, West Java, Indonesia

 

Introduction

Cukul Tea Plantation is located in Pangalengan, West Java, Indonesia.
Cukul Tea Plantation is a mainly sunrise spot for landscape photography. Access to the sunrise spot at this plantation is quite easy, just walk about 10 minutes from the parking area near the small lake near the Villa German. The green view of the hills and the tea plantation is very refreshing and the weather is cold due to its height. If lucky enough, after the stunning colored sky during sunrise, when the sun ascending from the horizon and the thin mist cover the hills, the sunshine, which is blocked by the scattered trees, creates the rays of light at the hillside.

Pantai Gigi Hiu, Pegadungan, Kelumbayan, Tanggamus, Lampung, Indonesia

 

Introduction

Pantai Gigi Hiu (Shark's Teeth Beach) is located in Pegadungan, Kelumbayan, Tanggamus, Lampung, Indonesia.
Pantai Gigi Hiu is one of favourite landscape photography spots in Lampung. The unique rocks formation at the beach those looks like shark's teeth is how it gets its unofficial name by the landscape photographers. The limited transportation infrastructure makes it quite challenging to reach this location and motorcycle is the most suitable mode of transport up to mid 2017. Good news that the local government has already plan to build road to the location so in the future, the location can be reached by car.

My Photo in Jetstar Website

Jetstar is my preferred airline when I travel by air for overseas flight for three basic reasons: affordable ticket price (budget airline), on time flight (most of the time), and comfortable seat. And, something that I realized when check-in at Changi Airport where now all done by machine, I was always assigned to window seat so far. Well, probably their system keep my historical records and assume it is as my preference.

This morning (23-Sep-2017), when I browse Jetstar website to plan flight for my next photography trip, I am quite surprised that one of my Stock Photo in Shutterstock is being used in the website. It is when you open Menu>Destinations>Indonesia, my picture will be shown there.

Ijen Crater, Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia

 

Introduction

Ijen Crater is a crater of active volcano located in Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, Indonesia.
Ijen Crater is one of famous tourism destinations in East Java. Blue Fire is one of the main distinction of this tourism destination since in this world there are only two Blue Fire, one in Iceland and the other one at Ijen Crater. One-kilometre-wide turquoise-coloured acidic crater lake, combined with the scenic view of either sunrise or sunset colors, creates the gorgeous nature landscape scenery to be captured using the best camera being brought. It takes at least 2 hours hike to the top, after midnight hike is the most favourite option to see the Blue Fire and sunrise. Afternoon hike for the sunset option. Sulfur miners carry 75-90 kg load of sulfur from the crater is the other great activity to be seen.
