Borobudur Relief

It was a cloudy morning this time at Borobudur. We left the house at 2:30 in the morning in order to get to the temple before sunrise. I was hoping for a nice orange sunrise with Mount Merapi (the volcano that recently blew its top) in the background, but it was too cloudy casting a blue cast all over the place. I usually like dark clouds, but not for a sunrise. Oh well...that's the way it goes sometimes...later in the morning, I got this shot of one of the reliefs. There are people out there that know all the stories that are told on these reliefs...and there are a ton of them at Borobudur...about 4 levels of them that surround the temple...
