Travel Photo: Volcanoes Galore!!

Some people call it out of the world. Some call it heavenly. Others use words like insane, mind boggling, astounding and many more. I call it ‘Nature at its wildest’. The place that I am referring to is one of the main sightseeing spots of Indonesia. It has volcanoes, craters, green mountains, black mountains, sand dunes, savannahs and panoramic views that will leave you stunned.

The out of the world scenery at Bromo-Tenegger-Semeru National Park
This place is the Bromo-Tenegger-Semeru National Park in East Java. It is one of those iconic places with the blown open Bromo crater in the foreground and the mighty Semeru in the background. Both Bromo and Semeru smoke. While Bromo smokes continuously, Semeru smokes intermittently. It is quite a sight to see both of them smoke. The surroundings are all green and only Bromo’s black colour adds contrast to the surroundings.
