The Magnificent Borobudur Temple at Full Moon, Indonesia
October 1, 2013 • Photography & Travel
Last week I was in Central Java for a couple of nights with the main purpose to photograph the Borobudur Temple at sunrise. The timing was especially special this time. The timing of the sunrise was almost the same as the timing of the moonset. On opposite horizons two very special events were taking place. Which one to photograph? I can only look at one horizon at a time. I picked the moonset as it is quite difficult to time a visit to such a special place to capture the moonset right when the sun is rising. Here are a few images from that very special morning.
A full moon sets behind the gorgeous Borobudur temple creating a spectacular start to the morning.
The full moon about to set on the horizon over a landscape of jungles and mist. And on the opposite horizon the sun rises.
A setting full moon and a rising sun create a spectacular morning at Borobudur.
Truly a special morning. Breathtaking in every way!
