‘All is Lost’ and its sense of purity

Uncategorised

‘All is Lost’ is a brave movie. How else can be described a movie that has about a half page of dialogue (better said: monologue) and which is launched at a time of big productions, blockbusters, and remakes. I saw the poster of the movie in the London underground last December. Robert Redford battling rough sea and bad weather on a sailing boat. I thought that it may be one of those end of career […]

Quanti abitanti ha Jakarta?

Indonesia

Quanti abitanti ha Jakarta? C’è chi dice 10.000.000, forse 12.000.000. Altri dicono che se si considera la periferia che si estende a ovest, sud e ad est si arriva a 25.000.000. Ogni weekend 4 o 5.000.000 di abitanti lasciano la città per il weekend e raggiungono le zone di collina, dove la temperatura è un po’ più mite. La verità è che nessuno sa quante persone abitano qui. Molti arrivano ogni anno per trovare un […]

Amazing Gilis

Travel photography

On the north west tip to Lombok there are three tiny islands. Their name Gili, means ‘island’ in the local language. To distinguish them they have been called: Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan. They are tiny. The largest island, Trawangan, has a circumference of just 7,5 km. There are no cars on the islands but small horse carts. There are many tourists and they put considerable pressure on them. I went for some […]

Sunset Buddha in Borobudur

Uncategorised

Was in Yogyakarta for a week on Bahasa Indonesian language course. I arrived on a Saturday evening and had the Sunday off before the course start on Monday. The temple of Borobudur is just 40 km from Yogya. A good chance to visit the mountain temple complex  I heard a lot about when visiting Angkor Way in Cambodia. Went on late afternoon. Foreign and Indonesian tourists climbed the temple and gathered on the top terrace […]

TransJakarta

Street photography / Travel photography

TransJakarta is the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Jakarta. It was the first BRT system in Southern and Southeast Asia and it was inspired by the TransMilenio in Bogotà. TransJakarta began operations on January 25, 2004 and has now 12 lines. It carries around 310,000 passengers per day but it can do better than that. I took these photos at various stations and bridges of the TransJakarta network, mainly in Line 1 along Jl […]
