Sunset in Kintamani

Kintamani is on the north-east of Bali, it's sub district of Bangli Regency, Bali, Indonesia. Kintamani is a highland which is surrounded by villages such as, Penelokan, Toya Bungkah, Batur, Kedisan, Songan, Abang and others. Kintamani is located on the western edge of caldera wall of Gunung Batur.

The weather in Kintamani is cooler than down the coast in south-parts of Bali, even more in the evening and early in the morning. Frequently, this highland area covered by dozen of fog due to lower temperature. I get use to wear jacket or sweater during my photography trip.

There are several ways to reach Kintamani, we could drive from Denpasar and go through Bangli, or Tampak Siring Gianyar, and drive further north following main road. Also, we could drive from Singaraja and go through Puncak Penulisan and drive further down to Kintamani.

Kintamani offers breathtaking view of active volcano Gunung Batur and the serenity of Lake Batur. In this pages, i would like to share my photoworks which i took from Kedisan Village and Abang Village during the sunset.

Those photos was taken from Kedisan Village during the sunset, and it was very dark cloud covered active volcano Gunung Batur. On the other days,  i manage to get a vibrance sunset color. While the last photo was taken from Abang Villages, it just few minutes after heavy rain. 

Please keep in mind people here in Kintamani is indeed life with tradition which pass down from generation to generation, please show utmost respect by not walking to their farm land or entering their temples without permission. 

Hope you enjoy my post, have a great day, ciao.

It has been three years, i have been away from writing my blog. A lot of time and energy i spent to blossom my relationship with my fiancee, and after such a wonderful journey together when life is high and low, we get marriage in early 2015.

Time really fly very fast, i am a family man now. I have a gorgeous wife and a charming baby boy. He was born in December 2015, exactly when a lot people in the world celebrate Christmas. He was born in Prima Medika Hospital Denpasar Bali. He is healthy, he has 2.98kg weight and 42cm length.

In early weeks after his born, we were adapting with his sleeping time. Most of time he was sleeping, however he wake-up when he is feeling hungry, and my wife had to wake-up for breastfeeding him.

He is already 6 months old now, he is able to recognize familiar voices, especially his mom and his grandmother. He is also able to speak "pa pa pa", "ma ma ma" and "ta ta ta". It's so wonderful feeling to see him growing up day by day.
