Laka-leke in Indonesia

My economic-political agenda aside, Indonesia portrays a serene kind of unity in cultural diversity from east to west of the archipelago, and pictures not of the touristic kinds are out there for your to savour.

Here are just a quickie of some shots in a set of 11 images that I used to present at Pesta Blogger 2008 in Jakarta yesterday -- glimpses of Indonesia through the creative licenses tagged to my lenses, biased or otherwise.

In three cities...

Bali

Jogjakarta

Jakarta

The full set of the collection, in slightly higher resolution, are available in my travelogue gallery, or my Flickr, so that you can view the images in better details. However, optimum quality originals in TIFF must seek my copyrights clearance before I lose track of my IPR (Intellectual property rights) ;-)

More images are still lying idle in the harddisk and I certainly gotta find time to process them before recent memory fades away.


Laka-leke means "in the middle of somewhere" in Balinese.
