Sherly & Wicak's wedding - 2 more days to come


Di atas kota Bandung, 25 Maret 2007.

On the higher ground in Bandung, about 10 minutes drive up from our family "farm" house. March 25, 2007.


On our way down back to the house, we had to give way to a load truck since the road is not wide enough for both of us, but it's just nice for a motorbike to slide through.



Local village children are watching the passerby while waiting for praying time at dusk. The yellow gate is actually an independence day decoration that has not been dismantled since August last year.

Highway Scriptures - Texas Faith

Bulan Juli yang lalu saya posting tentang sampul buku that I love. Minggu lalu, Highway Scriptures sambil penasaran siapa yang pasang papan pengumuman dengan ayat-ayat Alkitab di pinggir jalan. Halaman gereja bukan, kantor lembaga sosial bukan. Hanya sebidang tanah yang ditumbuhin rumput liar dan sebuah gubuk ringsek. Mungkin hanya si pemilik tanah yang ingin mengabarkan injil ke orang-orang yang lewat. Di salah satu cover buku yang saya kumpulin, ada satu buku "The Amazing Faith of Texas" yang isinya nyambung dan ngejawab rasa penasaran saya. Orang Texas memang sangat devoted terhadap kepercayaannya, apapun itu, tapi dalam keanekaragaman itu ada hal-hal mendasar yang sama dan mempersatukan. Gitu kira-kira intinya. Isi bukunya wawancara dengan penduduk Texas tentang pengalaman / pendapat mereka tentang Tuhan dan agama yang ditata per halaman per orang dengan foto masing2. Foto2nya bagus, itulah kenapa mula-mula saya tertarik dengan sampul buku ini.

In July I posted Book Covers that I love. Last week, Highway Scriptures, wondering who would post the scriptures by the highway. It's not a church yard nor a social organization office, just a piece of land with tall grass and a wrecked hut. I guess it's just a landlord who wants to spread the words to passerby. Among the cover books I compiled, there's "The Amazing Faith of Texas" which kind of explain it. Texans are in fact very devoted to their faith, whatever the faith is, yet they find some common grounds that unite them. Something like that. The book is a compilation of interviews with Texans about their experience with God / religion. It's interesting and the photos are nice!

A Break



Istirahat sejenak, Hal (Bubba) dari berkebun dan bertani, grup tukang cat dari ngamplas and ngecat pagar.

Having a short break, Hal from the farm works, the fence painters from sanding and painting the fence.

Highway Scriptures




Di jalan bebas hambatan menuju Emory, papan pengumuman ini menarik perhatian saya. Hari ini, dalam perjalanan ke Hootens (toko alat-alat pertanian dan bangunan), saya inget untuk bawa kamera dan nyempetin berhenti sebentar untuk motret.

On a highway towards Emory, this sign board had been catching my attentions. Today, on our way to Hootens, I remembered to bring my camera and stopped by it to take pictures.
