Carnival-Venice

Carnival-Venice

Wandering aimlessly through the pedestrian pathways of Venice during Carnival produces encounters with all manner of revelers.

Dawn: Mount Bromo

Dawn: Mount Bromo

A hair-raising, hour-long jeep ride through the jungles of East Java in the pitch dark ends at a "comfort station" that affords little comfort against the early morning chill. But then the sun starts to rise, and what slowly unfolds is surely one of the most awe-inspiring sights in the world.

It takes a hair-raising, hour-long jeep ride in the pitch dark to get here. And the "comfort station" at the end of the road provides little comfort against the early morning chill. But when the sun starts to rise, revealing one of the most awe-inspiring sights anywhere in the world (and surely the most stunning in East Java's Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park), it makes the whole experience more than memorable.
