Sunrise

The picture has been taken at Mt. Batur in Bali / Indonesia. Mt. Batur (known in Indonesia as Gunung Batur) is an active volcano, considered on of the most sacred mountains in Hinduism, and its peak is at 1717 metres. On the picture you can see majestic caldera lake reflecting the early sun-rays.

One of the most precious and emotional memories of my life – not only for the view, but in addition because of the journey it took to get to this picture. Getting up at around 1.30am for the 2-hour drive to the starting point of Toyabungkah village. Hiking up the mountain in darkness for another two hours to finally arrive at the summit. All this rewarded by the most beautiful and spiritual scenery possible.

Like this sunrise, many experiences in life only become really special and valuable by the efforts they required. Hopefully a consoling thought – when times are dark and the way is steep, there is a good chance that you get rewarded once you have gone through all this.

In loving memory of WV, who accompanied us on that memorable tour.
