This shot is of Mt. Bromo, an active volcano on the island of Java in Indonesia. I had fourteen days to explore several of the Indonesian islands and my time there was just incredible. We spent a night on the beach at an idyllic lagoon that looked as though it came straight out of the movie "the Beach”, though I never did see Leonardo DiCaprio. We spent a few nights in Bali, and after a long crazy drive and little nights sleep we woke up early to make our way for the morning view of this beautiful volcano. People from all over the world make their way to this spot to get a picture. As people pushed and made their way to the edge of the lookout to get a selfie with Bromo, I stood my ground so that I would get this composition. I watched this shot unfold and felt grateful for such beautiful moments to remember such power and beauty.
