MONJU (MONumen PerJUangan) Bandung

Monumen perjuangan Bandung berisi tentang sejarah pertempuran warga bandung melawan belanda. Cerita tersebut terukir di dalam sebuah relif yang berada dimonumen ini. Tidak banyak yang tau, jika didalam bangunan ini ada sebuah ruangan yang berisi banyak sekali benda-benda sejarah (Mungkin replika). Namun ruangan tersebut kini telah ditutup, entah karena alasan apa. Semoga ruangan tersebut dibuka kembali, aminnn :D
Sebenarnya ingin menampilkan banyak gambar, namun karena sudah sore jadi saya tidak diperbolehkan masuk kedalam areal MONJU.
Untuk yang ingin ke MONJU, disarankan datang sebelum jam 15.30.
 

Bagian belakang MONumen perJUangan bandung
Pengunjung yang ingin masuk ke dalam monumen ini, harus masuk melewati pintu belakang, karena areal depan dipagari dengan besi setinggi kurang lebih 1,5m

Bagian samping MONumen perJUangan Bandung
Beberapa pekerja terlihat sedang mengecat dan membersihkan bagian samping dari monumen ini dari debu-debu yang menempel.

Tepat di depan MONumen PerJUangan bandung terdapat sebuah taman yang dimanfaatkan oleh warga untuk bermain, olahraga dan sekedar bersantai dengan keluarga atau teman.

Manglayang and it's view

The Peak

(left photo: Manglayang's peak, Right photo: Prisma peak)

Manglayang's peak is an area of a soccer pitch, surounded by many trees. there is a grave there, many version of stories about it, some said that it was the tomb of an old man who used to meditate there. :)

speaking about the view, you can't get sunrise except the trees and the mist there, to get the sunrise, you gotta go to prisma peak. it's a half time walking. 

The Morning

Beautiful sunrise, (Photo taken from prisma peak of Manglayang)

5 o'clock in the morning, the sun started rising. I can see the beauty of orange lining in the east though it was not the brightest day because of the rain falling a night before. But still, sunrise is beautiful. We can see Mt. Cikurai (2821 mdpl) from here and Mt. Geulis (Right photo) as well. 

 The trees and the mist 

This photos were taken in the top of Mt. Manglayang, at first, I intend to get the mist and the ray light but I can't get the ray light, it just happened once and lost in a second before I got my shoot. :(
The slope

There are many routes to get to the top of Mt. Manglayang (Barubereum, Batukuda, or cilengkrang) but all of the routes is very steep just like the right photo. almost along the way. and there are many cliff to here and there. yet it was a real adventure. 

Titiran 27 Crew

(Left-Right: Adynura, Akbar, Ramdha)

This is "Titiran 27 crew", I once hike here with akbar (The one with manglayang's sign) but we stop right before we got to the top. well, we got here to complete our last quest. :D

These people (Ady, Akbar, and Ramdha) are strong people, fighters for sure. getting here in the middle of the night with that weight in your shoulders, and still have laugh along the way. they're simply superb.

Random places of Bandung

Two photos above was taken in Moko 

(Left: photo) the color is just like that, no editting. i was lucky getting those beautiful sunset view.

(Right photo). this foto was taken in the morning, i didn't get the sunrise because it was block by the hill. no silhouette, but i got a shadows in return.:D

Hmm, these photos if i'm not mistaken was taken in "Jomblo Park" except that "middle" one (He's not jomblo as well although he looks so lonely enjoying the afternoon, maybe he missed her soul mate "Icha Panda)

The photos on the left and right side are photos of "I don't know who", yet they performed good songs (yeaayyy) 

(Left photo): One moment I got in BCN (Bandung culinary night). FYI, This is a two weeks event, held in Braga street on saturday night. There's also Cibadak Culinary night. it's a similar event.

(Right photo): As a Bandung citizen, this monumental building is so familiar. Yes, It's "Gedung sate". Ahmad Heryawan as a governor and his vice governor work there. 

(Left photo): It was a group of men performing sundanese songs with sundanese traditional musical instruments. this photo was taken in Cihapit. I still remember this picture, taken when i and "Aleut community" was in the neighbor. 

(Right photo): This silhouette was taken in CFD (Car Free Day) dago. well this person didn't want to be captured from behind, he said that' he is to big, later if he can lower his weight. :D (no offense brow)
