Tengger Caldera, Indonesia
Wednesday, July 26, 2006
Infinite Sea of Loneliness, Tengger Caldera, is the place where Mount Bromo lives, right in the center, the place is Uncommonly Earthly, Early start, 3.30 a.m. we started trekking towards the Lower viewpoint, the wind makes my back to chill however the heavenly bodies hang upon the sky are so magnificent that one can hardly complain, besides after 5 minutes uphill one is warm enough to keep just figuring out which is the best and shortest path to the cliffs, As light starts to fade darkness, one start realizing the vastness, the first impression that crossed my mind is Nature's Whim, however, millions of years of random acts ended up on this, on this very morning for us to be the audience of this beautiful chaotic play involving every single physics law, the overwhelming Sunrise over Mount Bromo. Later on we trekked all the way upwards the volcano's crater, on my way back I found myself sailing on top of the sand sea, in perfect loneliness, absolutely proud and somehow exhausted, is amazing how sometimes greatness, makes us feel in peace, and for 45 minutes that i cruised along those faded paths, I found myself in peace.
