Standing in the damn cold night at the top of Mt. Ijen, East Java waiting for the milkyway posisition like this.

Hiking 2-3 hours to get this spot in the night. This milkyway only shining on April till October in a year. So, planning is evertything for shooting up here, we could get the fog and clear sky to make more dramatic.

In the morning, this spot is where the sun shine for the forst time in Java land, because this place is located at the most eastern of Java island.
