Friendship with Flame

If for some people flame or fire is an enemy, not for this guy and his friends. Every Sunday a kind of traditional artist group named 'Singo Barong' conducted some of Javaness traditional art at Kota Tua (Old City) area in Jakarta, located at Fatahillah Square to be exact. Part of the exhibition is blowing flame by two or three young men. As for me this is the most interesting part of the exhibition.

Other things that are interesting at Fatahillah Square the historical and vintage buildings you could find there. Most of photographers love to exercise at this spot.

At the intersection between Sudirman Street and Thamrin Street there's a circle with fountain,called 'Bundaran HI circle'.

Monument National of Indonesia

.
Monument National of Indonesia is the icon of Jakarta. Local people usually call this monument as Monas. The built of this monument was initiated by the first president of Indonesia, Soekarno. The top of the monument was plated by real gold.

On weekend Monas area is very crowded with visitors from many other regions in Indonesia. While in the morning the park was utilized by local people as jogging area.

March Theme Day: Glass

At Bank Indonesia Museum, Jakarta, there're parts of the wall that are made of glasses with an artistic motifs. This picture shows some parts of the glasses. The motifs are accessories from Netherlands and Gods of Greece.

You may wonder why it has Holland's accessories motifs and even Dutch language on the wall. It's because the museum was built in 1912, when the Dutch still colonized in Indonesia. The history recorded that Dutch was colonized in Indonesia for 350 years.

Nothing Can Stop Him

Look at this guy, I like the way he enjoys life. Nothing can't stop him to be happy on his way.

At the time it was holiday in Indonesia, and Ragunan, the zoological park in Jakarta full of people from many places. It was difficult to get a place to lying down or sit at the green grass park where people usually spread out their mat and lying down or sit down with their family.























This guy might be too tired but never running out of ideas to anticipate the situation. He just spread out newspaper on the passage way where people walking back and forth and lying down there.

It's not the best place to lie down off course. It even not nice to be seen. What is nice in my point of view is the way he enjoys himself even in an unconditional situation. I can see it from the way he smoke. There's nothing can stop him.
