The Fort of Baubau Palace, In my weekend to my parents Hometown, Baubau City, Southeast Sulawesi Province, this Morning I came to the biggest fort in the World, the Fort of Baubau Palace. Nearly 2740 meters round and 22,8 Ha area the Wall covers. The thickness approximately from 50cm to 2m, with height 1m to 8m. The fort was build by the third emperor of Baubau, Sultan La Sangadji around 1591 to 1597 AD. Many tourists came to see the magnificent of this Human structures. Like on this pic, some Canon still on his place, powerful and intimidating. I've imagine, what will in my mind, if as intruder, I see this Canons pointed at me. Totally hopeless...😅😂 #long #weekend #parents #hometown #journalist #canon #dslr #eos70D #mudik #ied #lebaran #ramadhan #morning #dawn #fog #mist #canon #fort #big #biggest #baubau #wonderful #Indonesia

The Red Dawn, I'm nearly lost this moment that day if I get to next sleep that early of the morning... (Sleepyhead, yeah..😅) A strong storm hit Waisai that morning, surely a big one with just a brief moment, approximately 20minutes. What makes a beautiful red cloud that's cover entire city was, because the morning sun rise above the clouds which stand still and the rainfall poured down. So the red (or pink😅) naturally happen. Like a sakura blossom, right?😊😁 It takes moment to me to stare at this rare moment and realize to get my camera on. When I'm going to take my raincoat, and get a nice position to take overall Masjid, the red moment wash out with the clouds moving because the wind. So I'm just have several shots. In frame, was the first gate of Masjid Agung Waisai. #journalistphotography #canon #dslr #eos70D #early #dawn #morning #cloud #mist #heavy #rainfall #sunrise #natural #red #pink #blossom #masjid #agung #waisai #gate #beautiful #rare #moment

Selamat Hari Buku Nasional, 17 Mei 2017. Beberapa koleksi pribadi di kamar kos saya di Raja Ampat. Dulu awalnya cuma bawa beberapa buku saja dari Manokwari, dan juga sebelum berangkat tugas ke Waisai, Raja Ampat, ibu saya ingatkan lagi untuk tidak 'belanja' buku, nabung untuk modal nikah (eh😅) tapi namanya hobi sejak kecil, gak tahan jika liat buku bagus (😅😆). Akhirnya kurang lebih sudah tinggal di Waisai 2tahun, buku saya malah bertambah. Ini Udah 2 karton, belum ditambah koleksi lain dirumah Manokwari dan dirumah Baubau...(😅😢😑) But, seperti yang selalu jadi alasan saya (😁😅) buku bagi saya bukan hanya sebuah bacaan, tapi sudah menjadi teman setia. So, again, selamat hari buku nasional, terutama bagi sesama kutu buku seperti saya.. Hehehe..😁😂 #book #books #national #day #buku #nasional #indonesia #17mei #friend

Several days ago, I've been invited to an event called 'Sea Sasi Release' or in Indonesian 'Buka Sasi Laut' by the elders of Folley Village, East Misool District, Raja Ampat. A fabulous event indeed. Because this event rarely occurs. Sometimes, one time a year or more. On frame, meet one of the elders, Mr. Musa Fadinpo. On this sacred event, only he can release that sign from the sea, if anyone do except him, disasters could have been cast down upon the people of Misool. That's what they believe. #journalist #journalistonduty #journalistphotography #sasi #sacred #event #sea #release #folley #east #misool #rajaampat #culture #elders #believe #people
