“tak bisa menari dikatakan lantai yang berjungkit” - a bad dancer blames the uneven floor and a bad chef blames his spatula.
i have learned that in order to do landscapes
- one needs a tripod;
- one needs to learn how to operate a tripod;
- one learns that tripod is a dangerous item and cannot be hand-carried on board;
- one learns that trekking with a tripod is a bitch; and
- one learns that there is something called bulb mode on my camera.
this stuff is like fishing, i have no patience for it. that said, i have little patience for any thing, except good toro.
while standing in the midst of these majestic landscapes, i cannot help but to pause and reflect on some important questions like
“what the f**k am i standing in the blistering cold to make photos of this?”
and
“what’s for breakfast?”.
well, mainly the latter question.
gunung bromo x kawah ijen x sakit penyakit gout.
yes. i was hiking with a half-pulsating situation of gout. these are the images from the 40+km trek.
i stopped to make images.
actually, that‘s what i told my guide. i was just tired, panting and needed a break.
