Heaven right at my backyard

well not exactly literally at the back of my house....but at the backyard of North Sumatera, 3hours drive from Medan, Tongging to be precise, the famous (but still very underated Sipiso piso water fall).

So, it was the first hunting session with my newly born photography club TPC- Toba Photographers Club. Get there early morning on time to capture sunrise, but the geographical position didn't allow us to get any frontal shot of the sun.

Anyway...nuff crap, i know most of you won't bother reading and go straight to the pictures anyway...so ladies and gentlemen, The magnificent Sipiso-piso water fall...............

Sunrise at Tongging, cant exactly get the sun itself as it was blocked by a hill

Th sun was playing with the tress, they are good buddies

Still playing

The path we must get trough to get to the water fall

The star of the show

For these shots where I'm almost right under the waterfall i have to crossed the pretty wild river to get to it. it was a crossable river, but carrying a back pack full of expensive and not exactly water friendly gears didn't help make it easier. And as it stands i was the only one crazy enough to do it. But i was the only one with pictures from this angle too.


Down there, even though you i was still some 50 meters aways at the very least from the waterfall itself but water was spraying everywhere, but it was gentle, the kind that coming out from a water sprayer bottle at a hair saloon. Grass and little red flower blossom everywhere, it literally feels like a little heaven, it was so refresing, the way the water hit ur entire body. Too bad i cant really enjoy it as i need to protect my camera. Im dying to go back without a camera and just suck in all the atmosphere in there.

Here you can see the water spraying everywhere

Look....rainbow!!!

Plus an amazing cobalt blue sky, and perfect clouds. Absolutely perfect

The guy is preparing our lunch. oh wait, you don't care bout what i did there, just the beauty shots please, coming rite up.....
