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

I am a photography enthusiast with genre of landscape (color & black and white), fine art black and white and human interest. Although I started to make a photo since analog camera and mostly for family documentation, I started to focus on landscape photography since 2016 and human interest photography since Sep 2021. I am so passionate with photography because photography is an art that I can enjoy for myself and also for other people who love with photography.
