We got invited to an Indonesian style wedding party/reception with 1500 of the bride and groom’s closest friends. The couple stood on a stage and greeted an endless receiving line for 3 hours. They looked spectacular and graciously held genuine smiles for each and every guest and posed for a photo with each group. The Bride’s immediate family wore coordinating colors and the groom’s famly had their own matching colors too. The white maple tree pictured here was a favorite backdrop for others to take photos.

Traditional homes of West Sumatra…..They are raised off the ground on stilts to protect the occupants from occasional flooding and mostly prowling TIGERS.
A Komodo dragon. No big deal.
