Mount Batur, Bali, Indonesia [December 2010]

Our 3rd trip to Bali saw us paying a visit to Mount Batur and her magnificence for the 2nd time. Nothing beats the feeling of being able to witness such grandness in the most natural surroundings, with fresh air in your lungs and the cool weather kissing your face. I backed this video with the sounds of traditional Balinese Gamelan music. With the music, I find myself getting somewhat “into” the video, almost in a “hypnotised” state, especially during the parts where the video is being zoomed in. Anyways, to quote Wiki, “Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) is an active volcano located at the center of two concentric calderas north west of Mount Agung, Bali, Indonesia. The south east side of the larger 10×13 km caldera contains a caldera lake. The inner 7.5-kilometer-wide caldera, which was formed during emplacement of the Bali (or Ubud) ignimbrite, has been dated at about 23670 and 28500 years ago. The caldera is populated and includes the two main villages of Kedisan and Toya Bungkah. The locals largely rely on agriculture for income but tourism has become increasingly popular due to the relatively straightforward trek to the summit of the central crater. The lake, Danau Batur, is the largest crater lake on the island of Bali and is a good source of fish.”
