Dieng Plateau, the land above the clouds, abodes of the gods.
One of volcanic blast that pull down one huge mountain and reform in to a plateau. It is part of central Java province. This area still active as gas and heat only. Seems the lava is under the plate of earth heating the some area which was the crater at Dieng.
This trip taken me very long journey from Jakarta to Wonosobo regent. And Dieng plateau are there at the top of Wonosobo area. It took 15 hours by car from Jakarta to Dieng. I believe next time I would be prefer to have train or plane to nearest area like Semarang or Jogjakarta, then taking car to Wonosobo and Dieng, it saves your time and your backbones...hahaha.
Well, our trip seems has been a typical tourist schedule. Visit top view of Telaga Warna (Color Lake), watching Dieng Plateau theatre, visit the Dieng crater, climbing Sikunir mountain for Sunrise, and enter the Telaga Warna or the lake shores. The place is very cold at night and cold enough at day. But don't worry, almost all guest house there have water heater so you can have nice bath. Local food mostly Noddles and Meat balls, sometimes if you lucky, like me and some friends, we got very delicious duren or durian fruit.
Well, lets hear what my photography would eagerly to says.....hahahaha

Do you really a landscape photographer? Join me to wake up 3 o'clock and climb Mt. Sikunir to the peak in the cold dark path from 4 o'clock to catch the sunrise. Battle with so many people to get a spot for such perfect landscape. Configure your gears and filters. Take careful steps on slippery slopes. Just for this satisfaction!
Love is all around....oh so sweet..!
