Wonderful Nusa Lembongan

I got the chance to visit Bena village. This traditional community is situated deep in central Flores and has turned over time into a signpost for the Ngada culture. 

The lakes on Mount Kelimutu are fascinating to watch. Their color can change during the day, depending on the gas and oxygen consistency in the water. Dark blue means a lot of oxygen. Bright blue: The opposite.

This is probably my favorite animal picture I have taken so far. This is a street cat I saw near the hot springs outside of Bajawa, Flores, Indonesia.

The hike up to Mount Rinjani, on the island of Lombok, is as breathtaking to do as it is to take a look around. 2 days it took us to reach the tip of the mountain which lays at 3726m. The last hundert meters to the summit are simply mental. The saying goes that it's "2 steps forward 1 step back" on a steep path made entirely of volcanic ash. We arrived on top at 5:30am - just in time to witness a stunning sunrise. 

A creepy experience. The abandoned theme park in Sanur, Bali. Was meant to be opened in around 2002. But due to the Bali bombings, tourism stopped and a ruin was left behind.
