Yogyakarta: Day Three: Pranbanam Temples

After our eventful trip to Parangtritis beach, we went back to our hotel for a little siesta before heading off in the evening to see the Pranbanam temples.

Evening is probably the best time to see the Pranbanam temples simply because it's not too scorching hot and the skyline is beautiful during the evening. I love the silhouette shots of the temples because they look like giant leaves under the sun, with their stunning detailed edges.

There's quite a bit of restoration work going to rebuild some parts of the temples due to the earthquake in 2006 but as you walk along the compound, there is plenty of other areas to capture 'kodak moments' of the magnificent structure.

In fact I got so engrossed with my camera that I lost the guys for a good half an hour. It's so easy to be absorbed in an environment as such.

It's hard to decide which I like better: The amazing sunrise at Borobudur or the surreal sunset at Pranbanam, but one thing I know, I am thankful for the opportunity to witness God's fine creations in this lifetime.
