Jogjakarta
is the cultural capital of Indnesia, so it's no surprise that you see
street art wherever you look. Check out the Geneng
Project and this
page for more street art.
This
photo and the next two were shot in Prawirotaman II.
Jathilan
and other traditional folk performances are still very popular. Check
out a jathilan page
for videos and more photos.

These
kids on a nearby roof have a great view of a jathilan performance. They
may be performing one day, since it's a popular occasinal gig for young
adults, both guys and girls.
A
sheep on its way to market.
A
lane in the Water Castle neighborhood.
A
studio gallery in the Sultan's Village, what I call the beautiful residential
neighborhood around the Sultan's palace. It's owned by the Sultan and
rented out to families. The Water Castle is in this neighborhood.
This
lady and the next few were in Imogiri Market, south of Jogja.
Life
is hard outside the city. This man and the people in the next few shots
live south of Jogja, on the highway that winds through the coastal mountain
range. The photos were all taken from the back seat of a speeding motorbike.
The
mural on this school on the mountain road is extraordinary in that none
of the women are wearing Muslim garb. As you can see in photos above,
Muslim garb is de rigeur in this area.
Back
in Jogja, in Gembira Loka Zoo. He doesn't look happy--probably isn't--but
the animals in this zoo have pretty good enclosures and seem healthy.
Crosscut
of a Siamese tree. (That's not really the name of the tree.)
Ngedan
Beach, south of Jogja, at the end of the mountain road. There are about
a hundred beautiful beaches 30 km (20 miles) south of Jogja.
