#2 Russia's Summer Breeze: Velikiy Novgorod

What do I know about this city? NONE! But what i found are amazing. First fact: before Moscow, Velikiy Novgorod was the former capital city of Russia for more than 800 years. Second fact: the city was just celebrate its 900th birthday. Third fact: the first Kremlin ever build in Russia is located in here. Fourth fact: if you wanna know Russia's history, come here and get inside the Kremlin. Fifth fact: the city is famous for its wooden handicraft.

#1 Russia's Summer Breeze: Moscow

When i said summer i didn't mean hot summer. It was end of winter on April, so the air was chill and i still caught thin snow here and there. But it was nice. Spasiba!

The Alps

The peak of The Alps on November. Not much snow, the wind was still warm - but it's perfect! I got lucky, i guess. Because hey, when you remember Alps what you could really think was super cold! And i didn't experienced that there.


This is Mittenwald, the Alpen side of Germany. Just a quick jump and I'll be on Swiss.



I didn't really pay attention on the store. But a friend of mind was excited when he saw this photo the first time. He commented about the shop behind me, rather than the photo itself. It's an Outdoor Shop - yes, that explains a lot. Man and outdoor stuff. Btw, i always feel like a goofy bear everytime i wear that jacket.


Super cute! I didn't really think that this is happening in the real world. I was surprised when I found this flowers in boots on the street of Mittenwald. It's like a cut out from Heidy's book or something.

days on the water world

my eyes were as big as cucumber when the office sent me to Danau Sentarum National Park. it is located in West Borneo (almost in the border of Malaysian's Sarawak state). Danau Sentarum or Sentarum Lake is on my wish-list top of must visit national park in Indonesia.

Sentarum Lake was not as I expected. IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER! the never-ending rain season makes the water up high, the forest is flooded, the perfect reflection of anything above the water, and long boat ride I had for days were great!

i enjoyed taking photos in Sentarum Lake. i feel like a pro-human interest photographer jumping into far away land.












all photos were taken by me, but a good friend lend me his Canon 5D and various cool lens during my trip
