I never really walk around my mom's neighborhood but somehow, I knew, it would have been amazing to see the scenery. So, since I woke up pretty early that day, I put on my shoes and started to walk around the neighborhood.
The first thing I saw was this beautiful orange hue and smoke coming out of the mountain. My route is basically crossing the main road to the village surrounding the area.
As I walked more, I also saw this scenic rice field and the sky reflected through its ponded water.
That was the view until I reached the intersection that connects the main road to the famous temple in the country, Borobudur. In that intersection, there is a small park with two lions guarding and welcoming tourists who are going to the temple.
It wasn’t so cold that day and I felt like I already walked further than I had ever been. But I enjoyed it because the scenery that it offers was unmatched.
Somehow, I wondered why I never take this walk, knowing that the scenery would be the highlight.
Now, this has become a go-to routine whenever I am visiting the house.
On the way back, the scenery is even more stunning. There were more lush rice fields and mountains that were so visible from our naked eye. I wished I still had my camera and I would have captured the mountain even better than my phone would have.
This is the eruption moment and we're all pretty stunned. So, typically people around the area I am walking is also affected especially when the wind is blowing to their side. And the people around here is not surprised anymore whenever minor eruption happened. It's almost like regular events and they have no worries and continue their day.
I wasn’t really planning on walking 10.000 steps/day. But when I checked my phone, I reached that step. Typically, I only walk 6000 to less than that but that day, I realized I could actually do 10.000 steps/day.
This is another side of the neighborhood with different mountain. It's quite scenic to walk around the area and one of my favorite thing to do now.
