Kaunid õied, beautiful flowers

Ijeni vulkaan

Peale Bromo sai vallutatud veel teinegi vulkaanikraater - Ijen. Tegemist on samuti suhteliselt "ohutu" vulkaaniga kui see välja arvata, et mõned turistid on oma hooletuse tõttu sinna sisse kukkunud. Samas mõned postitused tagasi kirjutasime ka Bromo kohta, et tegemist on ohutu paigaga ning paar päeva hiljem muutus vulkaan aktiivseks.

After Bromo we also conquered the Ijen crater. It should be also a "safe" volcano if we disregard the fact that some tourist have fallen in due to their own carelessness. Some posts before we declared Bromo also safe only to read the news of the eruption some days later.

Ijenile saamine oli juba oluliselt keerulisem ning vaatepildid olid hoopis teistsugused, kuigi ka seal oli tardunud laavat.

Getting to Ijen was already much more difficult and the views were much different, although there was also frozen lava fields.

Kraatri põhjast kaevandatakse väävlit ja seda teevad kohalikud käsitsi, vedades väävlikamakad seljas kraatri servale ja siis teiselt poolt alla.

At the bottom of the crater there is an active sulfur mine and local mine it manually. They drag the sulfur lumps to the edge of the crater and the down from the other side, carrying those on the back.

Kraatri põhjas on ka happeline järv, pH tase 0.5 (maohape on nt 1.0, mida väiksem seda happelisem). Järve laius on ca 1 km. Ida-Jaava, Indoneesia. Pilt on klikitav.

At the bottom there is also a acidic lake with a pH level of 0.5 (gastric acid is 1.0, the lower level means more acidity). The lake is 1km wide. Eastern Java, Indonesia. The photo is clickable.

Yellow-vented Bulbul, Pycnonotus goiavier

Suur kaunitar. On väga harjunud inimestega ning vabalt saab neid näha igal pool inimeste lähedal pesitsemas ja elutsemas. Pemuteran, Bali
Big beauty. This is a species adapted to humans and you may even see them nesting in gardens and living near to humans. Pemuteran, Bali

Põhja Bali rannad

Järg eilsele postitusele. Moodne rannakunst mustal liival. Põhja-Bali rannad on just täpselt nii tumedad tänu vulkaanilisele liivale.
Follow up to yesterday's post. Modern art on the black sand. The beaches of Northern Bali are black due to the volcanic sand.

Samas on see viljakas pinnas paljudele taimedele.Pemuteran, Bali.
In the same time it is very fertile place for different plants. Pemuteran, Bali.

Bali loojang

Kärestik

Kärestik Sumatra vihmametsas. Paremalt ääres jookseb sisse kuumaveeallikas - sellest ka aur. Leuseri Rahvuspark, Indoneesia.

A rapid in the Sumatran rainforest. From the right there's the hot springs water coming in - hence the steam. Leuser NP, Indonesia.

Plumeria

Taas üks pilt kaunist Plumeriast. Kuulub Oleandri perekonda ja neid on kokku 7 erineva sorti. Tegelikult on see iludus mürgine ja ärritab nahka ja silmi.

Again a picture of Plumeria. It is related to the Oleander and there are 7 different species. Actually this beauty is poisonous and irritates the skin and eyes.

Vulkaan Bromo

Bromo vulkaan oli tõeliselt muljetavaldav. Nii eemalt vaadates, kui jalamilt kraatri servale ronima hakates.

Bromo volcano was really impressive. Equally looking at it from further or standing on the foot.

Serv oligi serv. Kohati läks koonus nii kitsaks, et täpselt üks inimene mahtuski kõndima.

The edge of the crater was quite narrow in some places.

Kraatri seest purskas meile näkku väävlirohket tossu. Üha uued pahvakud maapõuest tulid ca 1 kord minutis.

From inside the crater a sulfur-enriched smoke gushed in our faces. There was a new smoke puff every minute.

Viimane purse, mis lõppes hukkunutega oli aastal 2004. Nõlval oli ka tardunud laava hästi näha. Jaava, Indoneesia.

The last eruption with casualties was in 2004. The coagulated lava was clearly visible on the slopes. Java, Indonesia.

Pruunõgija, Lanius cristatus

Meie õgijate troopiline sugulane trampimas iidsetel Prambanani kompleksi varemetel. Hävitustöö saab õnneks siiski süüks panna võimsatele maavärinatele, mitte sellele linnule. Jaava, Indoneesia.

The close tropical relative of European shrikes - Brown Shrike - trampling on the ruins of the ancient Prambanan temple. Though the destruction as such can be ascribed to the massive earthquakes, not to this bird. Java, Indonesia.

Sumatra maastikud

Sumatra saarel kasutati iga väiksemgi maalapp põlluks. Nagu pildilt näete on ka taamal asuvad mäed haritud.
In Sumatran Island they have used most of the land for agricultural purposes. As you can see even the land on the hills is cultivated.

Kohv, Coffee

Nii kasvab kohv - täpsemalt Arabica sort. Indoneesia on muide maailma suuruselt neljas kohvitootja, kohe Kolumbia järel. Enamus istandustest on Indoneesias riigi kontrolli all, nii ka see.

That's how coffee grows - Arabica, to be specific. Indonesia is the world's fourth largest coffee producer, right after Colombia. Most of the plantations are under the control of the government, so was this.

Kohviistandus oli mägedes, vanas vulkaanikraatris. Kogu see pildil nähtav ala oli enamuses kohvitaimede ja suhkruroo all ning pääses istandusse ainult kahte väga kohutavas olukorras olevat mägiteed pidi, kusjuures sissepääsu kraatrisse valvati. Aga vaated olid jällegi võimsad ja õhk 1,1 km kõrgusel ka mõnusalt jahe. Kalisat - Jampit, Indoneesia.

The coffee plantation was up in the mountains, inside the old volcano crater. All the area you see was mostly covered with coffee plants and sugar cane. You can reach this place via 2 mountain roads that were in extremely poor shape. The entrance to the crater is guarded. But the vistas were magnificient and the air was also cool as we were 1100 m above sea level. Kalisat - Jampit, Indonesia.

Ida-Jaava mäed

Kauneid vaateid oli Indoneesias tohutult. Siin siis teine pool Bromo vulkaani vaatest. Taimestik oli seal väga erinev kuna tegemist oli kõrgema tipuga ja temperatuur langes ka öösiti nulli lähedale.
There was a lot of beautiful views in Indonesia. Here is the other side of the Bromo volcano view. Plants were very different in the high peak and temperature dropped to zero at night.

Sumatra Orangutan, Pongo abelii

Leidsime veel paar pilti orangutanide seeriast, mida tasuks ehk presenteerida. Ega sellist õpikupilti nendest kokkuvõttes ei saanudki, aga see polnud ka eesmärk. Primaarne oli looma nägemine tema tavapärases elukeskkonnas ja see meil õnneks ka õnnestus. Gunung Leuseri Rahvuspark, Sumatra.

We found couple of more orangutan photos that might be worthy of showing. At the end, we did not get perfect photos of the orangutans but this was not a goal itself. The main thing was to see those wonderful creatures in the wild and luckily we succeeded. Gunung Leuser NP, Sumatra.
