(ENG/PT) BeautifulSunday - initiated by @ace108 - Climbing the Mount Ramelau, East Timor
This is my entry for the BeautifulSunday challenge, initiated by @ace108:
Climbing the Mount Ramelau, East Timor.
Subida ao Monte Ramelau, Timor-Leste.
(ENG)
Tatamailau , sometimes referred as Mount Ramelau, is the highest mountain in Timor-Leste and also of Timor island at 2,986 m. The mountain is located approximately 70 km (43 mi) south of the capital Díli in the district of Ainaro. While East Timor was a Portuguese colony it was called the highest mountain of Portugal. There is a three metre high statue of the Virgin Mary on the peak, which came from Italy and was erected during Indonesian occupation in 1997.

O monte Ramelau ou Foho Ramelau, em tétum, é a mais alta montanha da ilha de Timor e o ponto mais alto de Timor-Leste, com 2.963 m de altitude. A montanha localiza-se aproximadamente 120 km a sul da capital, Díli, no subdistrito de Hatu Builico, distrito de Ainaro, e é relativamente fácil escalá-la em três ou quatro horas a partir da localidade de Hatu Builico. O pico Tatamailau é o ponto mais alto da montanha. Durante o período colonial esta era a mais alta montanha de Portugal, e hoje o Ramelau é o segundo ponto mais alto de todas as ex-colónias portuguesas, após o pico da Neblina, no Brasil, que atinge 2.993 m.

@nolasco... Good job! Beauty incredible..
Thanks kindly :))
It is a gorgeous sunset high on the mt. absolutely stunning.
Indeed it is, I forgot to say it was the sunrise... and it was freezing up there ;)! Thanks kindly, @sunscape :))!
a good climb on a #beautifulsunday to catch the sun but I could not decide if the picture was a sunrise or a sunset. looking at the geography, you should be able to see both very nicely.
Hi, @ace108, indeed! This one is the sunrise, but you can see both sunrise and sunset from there... actually you can see both sea coasts, north, and south... It's a tiny and narrow island!
Thanks, my friend Pix!!
