The beauty that's around us

Our city is nestled in between several mountain ranges and on clear days, the view brings awe at God's creative beauty.

The peak in the distance is Mt. Semeru, the tallest mountain on Java at over 12,000 ft.


It is actively puffing smoke every ten - twenty minutes, raining ash all around us (you can barely make out the puff in this picture. It's usually a huge plume, but on the day I chose to get a pic, it didn't cooperate). Some days when it gets thick, and especially at night with the car headlights on, it looks like a light snow coming down.
