Rinjani Sunrise

Prev Next

The view of a sunrise from the top of Mt. Rinjani, the second highest volcano in Indonesia, after a hike that started at 1 in the morning where the last hour and a half was all volcanic sand where every two feet up you slide down one. It was the hardest thing I have ever done but also the most rewarding. As the sun rose, it lit up the amazingly beautiful Segara Anak crater lake, as well as Gunung Agung on the island of Bali and the Gili islands just off the coast of Lombok..

    Amazing, I used to live in Lombok Island - Mataram, but unfortunately I never hike to the top of this mountain like you. Sham on me... Really amazing shot you have here, I wish someday I have chance to get there. Very Well done.

    Brilliant.
    A fave.
    A great and just reward for a great effort.
    I don't agree with piser above that it's "nice light". I think it's stunning light, fantastic shadows and brilliant colour. Perfectly composed too.
    Magnificent.
