Beberapa keindahan alam Indonesia yang diabadikan oleh National Geografic

Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park, East Java

Photograph by Jessy Eykendorp, My Shot

The national park is named after its two mountains, Mount Semeru (the highest in Java) and Mount Bromo (the most popular), and the Tengger people who inhabit the area. The park also includes large areas, which are very lush, fed by rivers from the high tops. The medium elevations are clad with much thinner forest before this gives way to the barren plateau and peaks.

Lionfish

Photograph by Tay Tousey, My Shot

This shot was photographed in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, on a small island where I was diving on a wall. I came across a lionfish and photographed him vertically. I spent quite some time waiting for him to turn around. Lionfish are notorious for keeping their backs and poisonous spines toward their adversaries.
