I like subjects taken from this angle. I feel closer to the skies and it gives me a different perspective—how insignificant I am compared to the vastness of everything around me. On the other hand, it is only of such insignificance that I can awe in views such as this.
I am close to the ground and close to sky at the same time.
Kiss the Ground & Reach the Sky

Umm…one question, have you ever visited Indonesia? That’s my country ;)
Indonesia is on my list. I want to go to Borobudur and Bali. Any other suggestions?
Lombok has a beautiful beach, too, Pulau Komodo has been one of seven wonders, Bunaken is a must for diver, but one thing you should know. No one of them I’ve ever visited, haha!
Indonesian is so wide and I live in a medium city named Jambi, Sumatera Island. I wish I could have a journey around Indonesia sometime :’(
Oh yeah, I heard that Lombok is really good. Maybe I will also include that. Thanks for the suggestion. Indonesia is a big, diverse country. There is so many places to visit.
Yep, you are welcome, have fun with your travel :D
Wonderful. Yeah, just like I said before you must visit Indonesia. Bandung city is called Paris van Java you know?
Oh no! Now, I have 4 must-visit places in Indonesia. Borobudur, Bali, Lombok and Bandung. I can only afford 2 at a time.
Thank you for pingback, I really like the colours in your photo…
nice pic :)
What a great shade of blue on the building. Are those semi precious stones? Beautiful :-)
I doubt that there are semi-precious stones in this turret, but the Buddha inside is made of one.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing it… :-)
