Trip To Gedong Songo

in #photography7 years ago

Yesterday i was going to Gedong Songo with my parent,.  I started out early in the morning, wanting to get a beautiful view during the trip 


 after 2 hours journey  we finally got to the destination, that is Gedong Songo,  the scenery is very beautiful,..

GEDONG SONGO

This is a resort on the slope of mount Ungaran, about 900 meters  above sea level. Gedong Songo (nine buildings), a group of small 8th  century Hindu Javanese temples, can be reached either by car or on  horseback from the town. Built at about the same time as the temples of  the Dieng complex, 

Gedong Songo is one of the most beautifully sited  temple complexes in Central Java and the views alone are worth the trip.  Gedung Songo ('Nine Buildings') belong to the earliest antiquities of  Java, they follow up the temples on the Dieng Plateau directly, for what  about time. 

They were also built high in the mountains in an area full  with volcanic activity; and they were also from Hinduist origin. But  where the temples on Dieng Plateau are somewhat squeezed into a foggy  valley, Gedung Songo are spread over the higher parts of the mountains,  which guarantee a splendid view. On clear days, the horizon is one long  row of volcanoes, from mount Lawu in the east, towards mount Sumbing,  mount Sundoro and Dieng Plateau in the west. The temples were built between 730 and 780, the first temple  excepted, which could have been built some 30 years later.

Gedung Songo  is not the original name and also doesn't point at the number of  structures. The number nine has a special meaning in the Javanese  culture, in which there is a strong attachment to numbers. The temples  are located at about the same distance from each other (100 meters, 200  meters) on a naturally formed terrace of edge of a mountain.

but we only  reached the first temple, because my parents already look tired, and we  decided to go around and enjoy the beautiful scenery there ..

although we only reached the first temple, but the scenery there is very enough to make our eyes satisfied, and below I show some examples of the beauty of Gedong Songo  


after 4 hours, we decided  to go home, oh sorry I cant show you the photos, because when the  trip home,
