    It is only around 10 degrees celcius here camping at the peak of Mount Gede, but harsh wind is blowing a bit agressively so we were chilled to the bone waiting for the sun to rise from the faraway sea.

         		 Out from all the pictures that I managed to take of the moon, this one is the one which turned rather perfect. Being only a compact camera, I tried really hard for it to get the longest shutter speed time and with my hand not moving at all. I have to hold my breath for around 5 seconds for it to turn like this. The moon was shown to be rising from behind the wall that is the road to the peak of the mountain. It was really bright, although it may not seem as big as it should be.: by andre_quatzal, Views[396]

Also shown in this photo is the peak of Mount Pangrango (3,019 meters), a sister mountain to Mount Gede. It was said that it would only take 3 hours to walk peak to peak, but we decided not to because my crews said the scenery from there is dissapointing.: by andre_quatzal, Views[560]
