Siesta at river side.

Siesta,
sounds luxurious for today's life.
In the old days, shop closed between 2 pm - 6pm,
since there was siesta habit in the society.
Today, probably we can see siesta closed at South America countries only.

This man, I found at Jln Ngagel - river side - Surabaya,
has his siesta on his bicycle, so nobodies can take it without wake him up.

So, enjoying siesta & safe.

Quiet Morning



So quiet morning, when I step into the building - Lawang Sewu - located at heart of Semarang - Central of Java - Indonesia. This colonial style building, before was Nederlandsch Indische Spoor-weg Maatschapij ( Netherland railway company ), was built in 1908. There was a blod shed between Indonesia irregular troops and Japanese troops, inside the building. Today no regular activities except some biz exhibition was conducted at here. Some people even named it sacred building.

After Sun Rise



They come in the daybreak
sit on me, thread on me, resting on me.
Even somebody fingering on me.
Now , when the sun has risen
They leave me alone
Facing the sun heat and the volcano submissive
Me, the gazebo at Penanjakan - Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park - East Java - Indonesia.
