Java

Around 1996, some friends and I travelled through Java, Indonesia.  These are some scanned photographs from that trip.

Wayang Wong

Wayang wong is a traditional Javanese theatre with people mimicking the actions of shadow puppets (or wayang klitik).

Prambanan

Prambanan is a Hindu temple complex also located in Yogyakarta.  Whilst not as large as Borobudur it is equally impressive in architecture.

It is interesting to compare these decade old photographs with recent ones (e.g. 1 & 2).
