My Father In-law’s House

The house is located at Bumiayu, West Java, Indonesia. This photo was captured from dining room (at the back side of the house). The door is toward the living room. The house has been renovated; but the whole design is still the same.

A Woman who Carried Heavy Stones

I met this strong woman at my husband’s home town (Bumiayu, Central Java, Indonesia). That time, I was having breakfast with my husband at a small restaurant. From the restaurant, I can see the small river flowing under-not far away.

I saw several people were walking up and downs carrying river stones and sand; from the river to the road above. The distance isn’t far, but the small path is sheer enough and slippery. Then I noticed that between those men, there was a woman…

It’s a pity that I haven’t got a chance to know more: how much she paid for and how many rounds does she do per day. She’s doing this- a very tough job- only for surviving; to fulfill her family needs. Maybe she doesn’t have another skill or opportunity to do another job. The question is: till when she can do this? What we can learn from her? For me, she’s so inspiring. I truly admire her spirit and her struggle power to survive…

A Parasite Plant

Mellow Yellow is here. Have you been familiar with this parasite plant? We, Indonesian people, used to call it Tali Putri (princess strings). A beautiful name for a parasite plant, right? How do you call it? Is it right you used to call it devil’s hair?

The Top of a House

The house belongs to my neighbor. I can see it every day while I’m cleaning my dishes. That day, I felt it’s so match with the cloudy sky background; so, I captured it. Visit Monochrome Weekend for many amazing monochrome photos around the world.
