Gedong Songo (9 Temples), is an elevated volcanic plateau, in central Java, about 1,200 metres above sea level. I went horse-riding here, amongst the 8th century ruins & hot springs, in the cool mountain air, a definite relief after the relentless high heat & humidity of the coast. More info & images here:

Hi Chris,
The ruins and the foreground make one warm and sweaty. Yet further in the background one is cooled by the comfortable green, the mountains and especially the mist. Perhaps a little perspective cropping in PS would help to correct the 4-degree tilt of the first pagoda.

Hi Chris,
it's a wonderful place - a little mystic with the myst, but Besakhi-Mothertemple also was mystic IMO, we had low clouds there.
I like this atmosphere very much, thanks

amazing structure against a magnificent setting. The cloud/mist adds to the tranquil feeling. Beautiful.

Another great one from you Chris. Colours are really vibrant and given how wet this area is I am surprised that these ruins servived for a such a long time.

Very pleasant spot, again, but this one has much potential. Conversion into a hotel? Protected site? National heritage thing? Ah well, another idea bursts its bubble. I wish I was up in the mountains like this right now - very humid here in lowland Philippines. Mystically Misty Mountains. Marvellous.

very beautiful place.

nice shot - good colors & details.
