A lady with hand-woven fabrics
Often I don't take snapshots of people. I'm not sure why, perhaps because I am an introvert (ha). But this lady who was selling hand-woven fabrics in Lombok attracted me to take some pictures of her. She looked sad as if having a deep wound within her. Hopefully she's alright out there.

Black Gold
Believe it or not, underneath that sand is actually a river with hot water. Yup, that sand actually comes from Mount Merapi eruption in Yogyakarta (Find out where it is if you don’t know). Mount Merapi erupted in October 2010 and it was one of the biggest eruptions ever. More than 150 people died due to the eruption, including the well-known Mountkeeper, Mbah Maridjan. Now, the Indonesian government are trying to dig the sand out so that the river can be functioned again. The locals also gain benefit from the sand because they can take the sand and sell it. The black gold, they named it.
Beautiful Gannets
This picture I took at Muriwai Beach, Auckland. I was so fascinated to watch the birds flying, nesting. I could actually stand and watch them for hours, if only my little nephew didn’t beg me to go down off the cliff. Gannets, which the birds are called, always live in a colony. They started the colony at Muriway Beach in the early 20th century. I wonder if they will ever leave the place and start a new colony?
