Post-trip photo sharing (V)!

Did I said about Prambanan Temple at the end of last post? :P

A fountain we see in the park for the temple.

My mum's friend who came to this place before told us that the place underwent a lot of changes compared to the last time she came (which was dozens of years ago). The place now has a nice looking park which has a nice path guiding you to the old temple, which in overall is more presentable...hmm? Lol.

Being a very popular tourism spot, what do you expect apart from people, people, more people? Of course, even more people...luckily we aren't going during the peak times!

The entrance, and under the sunlight its silhouette has some very unique vibes around it...

Due to the lack of a tour guide, I only did the reading after I came back...according to Wikipedia, it's a Hindu temple built around the 9th century, dedicated to the Trimūrti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Transformer (Shiva). I'm not too unfamiliar with the names of the gods (thanks to games...) but being able to look at a temple dedicated to them at this close, it's breathtaking.

It is the kind of thing you will ask "how" on the building method. Looking really closely on the rocks that formed the buildings, you will really wonder how everything fitted in perfectly like a puzzle, supported each other so nicely so that the thing didn't collapse even after so long.

The decorations on the edges and the walls are also interesting.

Around them, you can see the collapsed ones. Many happened and some have to go...

Some edge near the site.

It didn't take too long for the sun to set...it's our second day here and we somehow know how time works here this time, hehe. Also, it's almost time to leave! Although I haven't really finished observing each and every stone, but I think that's the archaeologist's job, not mine...

It's a place I will want to go back again to learn more. It just has the irresistible charm...something that makes you want to figure out the science and magic in the history. It can be considered as some mindblowing hours over there, and it's a feeling you don't normally get in museums.

Humans and their stories.

That calls the end of this post - we're going to night market on next!

See you around,
