WE came here in the dark just to view the BLUE fire of burning sulfur and the green lake.   |
 |
| Molten sulfur was scooped out from the sprouting fumes and it immediately solidify in the cold air into candle wax like solid. BROMO - penajakan view point > Bromo's crater ( pony ride, steps, quadcop)   |

| I saw one fotographer and two trailing three volcano cones ** MISC **
We passed a long stretch of forest which resembled Africa savanna on the way to Ijen volcano. Too bad i have to shot from the moving vehicle in this two way narrow lane mountainous road. One the other occasion saw a pick up with loaded with goats, fruit stalls selling ripe mango. The red one caught my attention as i have never seen a red fresh mango. While the shot in Bromo entrance with health warning for those coming here. People with asthma, heart problem and HBP are advised not to attempt Bromo. Onion field next to the hotel we were staying and a street corner Mosque, Batu tiny apples and one of our dinner - deep fried fresh water fish and quite tasteful chicken sum up this misc fotos input.
