Weekly Photo Challenge: Up

Go up, up, to the mountain ahead

Up over the clouds where the sky was blue

I could see all around me everywhere

Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

The Central Library of Universitas Indonesia

This is the famous landmark at my university after 'we' build a new library. Some student calls it a Teletubbies hill. Others call it The Eltar of Zordon (from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). The building itself is pretty impressive. It claims as environmentally friendly building. Too bad it finished after I graduated, If I were a student I absolutely would come everyday.

Buildings along Jalan MH Thamrin Jakarta

This is a view of Jalan MH Thamrin during Jakarta Car Free Day, which means it is closed from 6:00 until 11:00 to traffic every Sunday. If only it happens everyday, there would be no more complaining about Jakarta's traffic :D

Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette

I saw a bird soaring through the air last Monday. 

Not sure what type of bird this is, but I guess it is crested honey buzzard, Pernis ptilorhynchus. 

So peaceful and joyous to see a moment like this.

I am blessed :)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy

Sort of things that makes me happy. (1) Sits on a park bench and surrounded by flowers. (2) Watching music performance (3) The scent of rain on dry earth. (4) Cute flat shoes. (5) The smell of sea water and sound of rolling sea waves. (6) Going to amusement park. (7) Staring the sun sets from my bedroom window. (8) Walking in gentle rain. (9) Eats -Indonesian-hot (as in spicy) foods. :)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Mine

This sketchbook is mine. During my free time I really like to draw. I draw everything but mostly I drawing people, flowers, and foods. Actually, I'm not really good in drawing with pencils especially drawing hair or fur and understanding lights and shadows. Anyway these are few of my drawings.

 So, the girl illustration on first photo is me, 17 years ago :D

Weekly Photo Challenge: Solitary

I took this photo in my travel 4 months ago. This view caught my attention, how peaceful it is, but somehow I think this boat is so lonely.

“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
― Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Movement

I'm actually less interested when I know weekly photo challenge's theme for this week is 'movement'. I think it's pretty difficult themes. So finally I make an animated gif from 27 pictures. The results are as shown below :D
 

I took these photos a month ago at Istora Senayan Jakarta while watching Badminton match between South Korea and Denmark.

That's my entry for this week. See ya! ;)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting Moment

I took this picture when I'm going home from work.

What does that cloud look like?

Prancing horse floats in the sky :)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Today

Today I went to Raden Saleh Exhibition in Indonesian National Art Gallery. Raden Saleh (1811 - 1880) is a pioneer of Indonesian modern art and painting. He is one of greatest artists and painters in Indonesia.

Some of his paintings. Several of his masterpieces were exhibited in Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

One of my favorites: The Javanese Couple (1857)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Hands

Good morning, Folks! For this week’s challenge I used my camera phone with little bit touch of Photoshop ☺. Knowing the theme of this week's "hands," I immediately took the marker and draw a watch on my wrist. The idea comes from You're Very, Very Late tattoo watch by Julia Rothman. Those tattoo are cute!

Oh by the way, have a beautiful weekend! (:

Enjoy this song

Weekly Photo Challenge: Blue

Helloooo... sorry for the absence.
I've been so busy for past two weeks. Deadlines at work really destroy my moods for blogging. So I'm back with Weekly Photo Challenge ☻. Theme for this week fits me because I just go back from Pulau Tidung last weekend. I have so many "blue" pictures. Here are some...

Pulau Tidung just two hours out from Jakarta

Journey starts from Muara Angke. Maybe it's one of gross harbor in the world. The water is black and sting!

Tanker and the fishermen.

Like a boss... ☺

Snorkeling and riding the banana boat.

Ouchhh!! what happened with his/her leg? :(

What makes Pulau Tidung famous? Yes!! That bridge which connects Pulau Tidung Besar and Pulau Tidung Kecil.

The photographer's feet. Mine ☺
