The colored lakes of Kelimutu

14-Jun-2000 thru 15-Jun-2000

The colored lakes of Kelimutu
These lakes are what we endured a 4 day bone-jarring, shitty-food eating, filthy-hotel staying journey across Flores to see. They change colors periodically and feature prominently on the Indonesian 5000 Rupiah note - The only lake not pictured here is the black one

Kind of like the colour red of old dried up blood (Indonesia, The Travel Addicts, East Nusa Tengarra, Flores)
