Indonesia has become one of the country in the world that owned mangrove forest contributing about 20-25% of total world mangrove ecosystem. The famous one in Walakiri Sumba but we can also find mangrove forest in other coastal area in Indonesia such as along the North coastal of Java island. We can find small mangrove trees but we can also find bigger one, growing like a tree. I found this big mangrove tree, located in Lamongan city, East Java, a bit far away from the coastal area. Perfect tide is the key to make a beautiful long exposure shot of lonely tree with surface of rock as foreground
