Now for some pictures of our trip to Indonesia…

I shot palm trees, temples and volcanoes on Java – baby monkeys, hindu shrines and rice fields on Bali – dream beaches, surfboards and sunsets on Nusa Lembongan. Have fun scrolling!

shot from a train, travelling from Jakarta to Yogyakarta

Here’s a short montage of all the pictures I shot from the train, resulting in a kind of time-lapse-video
