Special Note

Oh dear, what would you feel if they were your children, two young elementary school girl risking their safety  by walking on a rail way near Cimindi's train station. I believe they know what to do if the train comes, but it doesn't seem right for me. I'm not a parent yet but I think I began to understand what they feel when the kids aren't home. Well Mommies, I guess its time for your wise words again.

I have to make a note for my fellow Indonesian viewer :

Para orang tua yang kebetulan melihat foto ini, jangan bosan untuk mengingatkan putra-putrinya untuk tidak melakukan ini, jika perlu silakan simpan foto ini untuk ditunjukkan dan dijadikan contoh kepada putra-putrinya untuk tidak ditiru dan dilakukan. Semoga bermanfaat.

Great mosque of West Java

This picture is dedicated to my buddy Mr. Leif Hagen (Eagan Daily Photo), who want to see the Great Mosque of West Java on a day light. Well this is it, the front side of the Mosque. As The capitol of west Java, this Province's Great Mosque is built at Bandung. At the front, there is a big park to sit and enjoy the city sky and many more. Lots of activity going on here in this park when I captured this picture. It's a very large and tall Mosque and park, and this is as far as I can go with my lens.

Great Mosque Tower at Day Light

This is the same view from Alun-alun Bandung, taken at the same spot from the picture I've been posted recently on Great Mosque's Tower at Night. This time it captured at day light. And the streets were never get loosened.

empty road

 

Still a view of an empty street from Kotabaru Padalarang Bandung. My home town, It's Friday and it's a time to go home..

check for another great sky picture at here

 

Hill view from the north

 

A hill view from Dago Atas, north side of Bandung. At the north, Bandung are surrounded by hills and mountain, covered by a lot of trees keeping Bandung away from "dehidration". Still one of favorite place to go.

Phoenix Cloud

This is my first edition of Sky Watch Friday. I think this one are rarely to happened. A giant bird shaped cloud. Captured near my house, looks like a phoenix bird to me maybe. I didn't do anything with the picture except a brightness/contras adjustment.

Sometimes I wonder, is there any science about a cloud? I mean, about how did they took a shape. A millions of tiny water molecule up in the sky are somewhat gathered as the wind blows. On a Statistically sense, those billions of molecules are scattered in a mighty wide area like the sky, so they should be everywhere in a random manner. The chance for it gathered in a particular place and forming any shape we could be familiar, would be even smaller, and the number are might be wouldn't make any sense. Maybe you have found it too in a different shape once in a while, but this time, a bird shape, Is this a coincident ? or there is a "hands of Artist" somewhere up in the sky creating a cloudy artwork. :)

Take a look for other great sky picture here at the Sky Watch Friday.

Great Mosque's Tower at Night

This is the view of Alun-alun Bandung  (Bandung Town Square) captured at night. Placed at Jalan Asia-Afrika and not pretty far from The Concordia building I've been posted before. The two tower in the picture are the twin tower of Bandung Great Mosque.

"Saung" : A little nostalgia

This is a real deal for me. As for few recent years it almost hard to find this kind of scene in the new face of busy Bandung. This is what we called "Saung", a Sundanese phrase for a common shelter usually placed near or in the middle of paddy or vegetable field. Used as a rest shelter for the farmer as they break from cultivating the field. Take a little nap, lunch or keep the seeds and farming tools on the upper chamber at the roof. Now it is almost hard to find it in a real scene, now people usually build the replica at their home backyard, at the culture center or the restaurant. For the recreational purposes only. 

This shelter is found at the west of side of Bandung and still being used by a real farmer, pretty far away from the busiest spot. I don't know who really built it, but I'm happy with this one found, as it bringing back my childhood memory.

The Trees

Something are become usual when we saw it many times. Like the streets toward your home. Feels nothing special about it right? Including my own at the first place. This picture are captured at the corner of the street near my house, very usual scene for me as i walk it hundreds of time so far. But something amazed me when I saw it from a lens point of view, I purposeless shot the scene, see the picture then i feel the different. Try it too and see the different.
