Pari Island - Thousand Islands, in het noorden van Jakarta, Indonesië

These are  few pictures i made when i visited Pari Island, part of Thousand Islands, we call it in Bahasa Indonesia as Kepulauan Seribu, located in the north of Jakarta, my home town, Indonesia.
We started this trip by taking a fisherman boat from Muara Angke Harbour, North Jakarta.

It took about 2 hours to reach the island. By the time we arrived, we were welcomed by the clean blue tosca sea water .

We stayed at the guest house, owned by the local people and it was the nearest house from the harbour. We only walked like less then 2 minutes to reach the guest house. We could see the harbour view directly from our guest house. There were bicycles being parked in front of our place. Therefore we could ride it and enjoy touring the whole island. The house itself was an air-con place so it was cool inside.

After taking some rest in the guest house, our tour guide,the local people, guided us to have a tour through the island by riding bicycle. He led us into a beach which contained many starfishes.

i was all at sea


Finally, here came to the main point of this trip. Swimming into the sea! We took snorkling but i took off my life jacket so that i could swim freely deep down the sea. The guide took us to the snorkling spot outside Pari Island,






On the next day, we spent sunday morning the most famous spot of Pari Island, the Virgin beach.

Portraits of Sunda Kelapa Harbour

These are pictures captured by my Lomo fish eye, on a hunting journey with friends from Lomonesia, ( an official lomography communities in Indonesia ). Located in Sunda Kelapa Harbour and beyond in central Jakarta, near the old town square, on January 29th 2012.


These are few scenery from the old town square when we were heading the harbour.




Finally we reached the harbour and took some social activity portraits.









Too bad, it was raining.








This is portrait of new friends from lomonesia while waiting the rain to stop.

Kodak 200 is still able to take this gloomy dark scenery.



See you in my next posting. More unique portraits from me soon!
Thank you for visiting this newbie spot.
Regards from the beginner
Have a nice day!
