Recycling
Near where we live there is a collection point of these empty 19 litres bottles. They then bring them somewhere to be cleaned and refilled.

Commuters
Too few bicycle commuters in Jakarta. We need more of them. Join us! @Bike2WorkIndonesia

Morning nap

Mosque entrance in Kemang Timur
It was nice to walk along Kemang Timur searching for furniture shops. We walked by the Masjid Nurul Huda and I asked the old man sitting at the entrance if I could take a picture of him and his friend. He smiled and said: ‘Boleh’ (You can). Tomorrow the Ramadan begins.

Bike 2 Work in Jakarta – We need more of it!

Outside a school
The end of the school year is approaching fast here in Jakarta. Sometime I cycle through streets that are closed to traffic because of year-end ceremonies . That brings food sellers outside the gate of schools where kids go and buy a snack.

Office tower
A bit of editing around this office tower in South Jakarta.

Bicycle reflection
It has been raining hard yesterday afternoon. Today on my way to work there were still many puddles in the street. At stop at this one because I like the image of the clouds in the sky.

Hidden statue
I cycle pass this tiny piece of green playground in Dharmanwangsa every day (for the past 2 years) and have never seen this hidden statue. Today I saw it with the corner of my eye maybe in a subliminal search for the new photo to post today. I cycled pass, turned back and took my camera to take the photo. It is really amazing to realise how many things we do not see in our daily life. And then when we look for a new angle and a new perspective for a photo we just start to see more. I am sure I have seen this many times before while cycling by, but this hidden statue never imprinted in my memory. I am glad I saw it today. It reminds me of art from Papua or, vaguely, Easter Island. Something from far away.

Bird cage
There was this bird cage hangin on a wall nearby my house this morning. They are quite common in Jakarta. People put the cages out in the morning. Sometime they clean them with water and dry them as the one you see here. There are birdsong contests (here) and bird cages can be seen quite often on teh back of motorbikes travelling across the city.
