Indonesia has relatively more beautiful rural area not yet touched by the modernity. Fresh air and the green views are the most valuable factors. Those two things are maybe hard to find in the modern country like USA and countries in Europe. Here, in Indonesia, we have plenty of it.

Devotional Visit to Sendang Jatiningsih
Religious people often visit a place for contemplating their life and communicating with the God. In Yogyakarta, there are several devotional places for the Catholics such as Sendang Sono, Goa Tritis and Sendang Jatiningsih. Here, I want to write my devotional visit to Sendang Jatiningsih.
Sendang Jatiningsih is a devotional place for Saint Mary. The location is at Jitar village, Sumberarum, Moyudan, Sleman Yogyakarta. It is beside the Progo River. As the road is well built, it can be achieved by bus, motorcycle and private car.

Observing people’s activities is interesting especially the activity that we don’t know before like the local people’s activity of Drini beach. Drini beach is about 10 kilometers to the east of Baron beach, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. Mostly, the occupation of them is fisherman. Of course they catch fishes for living. Depart from the beach at the night and dock the boat on early morning. Sometimes they have to sail for days only to earn for living. However, they sometimes can’t sail. So, what they do when they don’t sail?
Feel Tranquillity at Sundak Beach

What I feel when I visited Sundak beach was something that is called tranquility. It was about 3.30 PM when the sun prepared to ‘come home’. The golden light of the sun warmed me while I was blown by the wind of the sea. The subsided water allowed me to go further, walked on the green sea weeds, found the best angle to capture the moment. All I heard was only the sound of the wind and the wave. I looked at the water, there were many small fishes swam and hide in the coral, maybe they’re afraid of me.
