Today I climbed the back hill of one of the schools in my city. This hill is located about 5 kilometers from my house. The morning weather here is quite cool, from this hill I can clearly see the beautiful landscape behind the school hill.
It looks like the morning fog still covers the surrounding hills, I took some landscape pictures here. The green trees and the atmosphere of the mountains which are still shrouded in fog are very beautiful to be immortalized, especially since the air is still very fresh.
I often visit the hill behind this school to enjoy the natural panorama around. The air is quite fresh, of course very good for body health, while exercising. Interestingly, there are many wild plants that I can use as Macro photography objects, one of which is the following beautiful wild plants.
We call it the Saliara flower, a plant that has the scientific name Lantana Camara, which is indeed known as one of the fascinating wild plants.
It grows on its own, a truly beautiful plant to immortalize. I took some pictures of Saliara flowers there using the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Smartphone and using a Macro lens.
Saliara plant (Lantana camara) has many names in each area such as flower satek in West Java, tembelekan in Central Java or tamanjho on Madura Island. Whereas in Aceh we call it "Bak Sikhoh-khoh" and the leaves are believed to stop bleeding when a knife or machete is cut.
As reference from the website of Mount Ciremai National Park (TNGC), tngciremai.com , it is explained that this plant is a type of flowering plant from the 'Verbenaceae family'. These plants can be found from the lowlands to an altitude of 1,700 meters above sea level (masl). Has an open habitat that is exposed to sunlight or that is slightly shaded.
This wild plant has small flowers, using a macro lens you can take pictures clearly. Well, friends, that's my story with nature today, hopefully it will be useful and become one of Amazing Nature that is interesting for me to meet this time while hiking in one of the highland in my city.
That is one of my stories when hiking on a hill behind the school in my city. And this is my entry for the contest organized by the CCH Community. If you are interested in joining this contest, you can see the rules in the link below:
