Rebirth
Estoy recién llegadito de Indonesia (Java, Sulawesi y Bali) y no voy a negar que de los 1769 disparos que he hecho, este es con el que me quedo, no sólo por su belleza, a mi humilde parecer, sino por lo que supuso para mí.
Estábamos haciendo el ascenso al Volcán Merapi (2700 m) en Java a la 1 de la mañana, una subida dura y con temperaturas, aunque parezca mentira, muy bajas.
Tras superar una pájara en el segundo tramo, tuve que acabar parándome sin alcanzar el plateau desde el que se asciende al anillo del volcán. Al pararme empecé a perder temperatura y a padecer una hipotermia de libro.... nos pusimos mi mujer y yo en una grieta entre rocas para resguardarnos, pero el viento gélido me impedía recuperar temperatura.. al final, un guía local que iba con otra persona del grupo rezagada nos llevó a una cueva en la roca y nos encendió un fuego a lo Mc Gyver... y vi amanecer en el Merapi.
Suelo hacerle unos "retoquitos" a las fotos que subo, ya lo sabéis, pero esta ni la toco... espero la disfrutéis tanto como lo hice yo pues suposo realmente un renacer.

These guys are selling their kites everywhere on the beach. They are a bit pushy but the kites are really beautiful.

Nervous
he wind blew the dust harshly to my face. With almost-closed one eye opened, I took several shots of this scene and one of them turns out dramatic with the dust encircled the nervous horse belongs to one of the men of Tengger tribe or Tenggerese.
Tenggerese believe that they are the descendants of the Majapahit princes. Most of the entire population is centered in thirty villages in the isolated Tengger mountains within the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru national park in East-Central Java. The rest can be found in Pasuruan, Probolinggo, Malang and Lumajang districts of East Java.
