Sunrise Bromo from Penanjakan

Saya lebih senang menunggu sunset dibanding sunrise, selain karena warna sunset lebih mewah dibanding sunrise, saya pun tidak perlu bangun subuh untuk menunggu langit berubah warna.

I like sunset better than sunrise. The colors of sunset is more grand compare to sunrise and also, I don't have to wake up very early to wait the sky changing colors.

Namun saat mengunjungi Bromo sulit untuk melewatkan momen matahari terbit. Meski tetap harus bangun subuh dini hari, menggapai lokasi matahari terbit di area Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru, Jawa Timur tidak sulit. Salah satu lokasi yang mudah adalah dari Penanjakkan.

But while visiting Bromo it is hard to miss the moment of sunrise. Although I still have to wake up very early, to get the sunrise in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in East Java wasn't difficult at all. One of the easy spot is Penanjakkan.

Saya memulai dari area Gubukklakah, Poncokusumo, Malang dengan kendaraan jeep 4x4 pada pukul setengah tiga dini hari. Kondisi cuaca pada dini hari sangat dingin sehingga kami menggunakan jaket tebal hingga sarung tangan.

I started from Gubukklakah, Poncokusumo, Malang with 4x4 jeep vehicles at two thirty in the morning. Weather conditions in the early morning was very cold so we use thick jackets and gloves.

Menjelang matahari terbit kami tiba di Penanjakkan dan turun dari jeep untuk trekking ke area lokasi pandang. Tidak perlu waktu lama, kurang dari sejam kami sudah tiba di lokasi dimana semburat matahari terlihat muncul perlahan.

We arrived in the area of Penanjakkan before sunrise, then continue trekking to the vieweing point. It didn't take long, in less than an hour we arrived at the point where we can see the sun is emerging slowly.

Warna matahari terbit itu selalu terlihat lebih tenang dan perlahan, berbeda dengan matahari terbenam. Langit gelap perlahan berubah warna indah sambil langin pun perlahan membiru.

The colors of sunrise is always looks more calm and slowly changing, so different with sunset. Dark sky slowly turned to beautiful colors and the sky is also turning blue.

As the sun rise, the sky turns blue

The white clouds appear, with hits of ray colors

When the sun rise, its getting warmer, no need gloves :)

Disini kita dapat melihat semburat matahari timbul di area kiri saat berjalan menuju area pandang, dan pemandangan Bromo Tengger Semeru di area kiri. A nice view and worth waking up very early. Enjoy!

Here we can see the sun arise in the area left as you walk towards the viewing point, and the view of Bromo Tengger Semeru in the left area. A nice view and worth waking up very early. Enjoy!
