Morning fog around the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Well worth the long drive (and flight) to get here.
jazoudis:
Mount Bromo at sunrise. The morning mist creates a surreal effect around this spectacular volcano.
jazoudis:
Mount Bromo and Mount Batok from a far away lookout point. The view is even more stunning in person.
jazoudis:
The base f the volcano is surreal. Mist emerges from the ground you step on, there's a blanket of thick fog surrounding you, and it's a long, long walk. Horses are available to help you get to the summit faster.
jazoudis:
A hindu shrine sits at the base of Mount Bromo. Not the safest place to have a shrine, but you can certainly tap your spiritual side amongst the mist and volcanoes.
jazoudis:
A weekend job for many kids is to provide horse rides from the base camp to the summit of Mount Bromo.
jazoudis:
Perpetual volcanic ash exudes from Mount Bromo making it difficult to breath at times. Although he looks menacing, this man is really just protecting his lungs and staying warm (it's cold at 2,500 meters).
jazoudis:
A local at the base of the mountain. The people here work very hard all their lives, most are farmers when the sun is low, and provide horse tours at Mount Bromo in the afternoons.
jazoudis:
A local from Bromo. Very warm and hospitable people, and boy do they love their Kretek cigarettes...
