A rare sight in the rainy season

The rainy season has arrived in Indonesia. However, the rain is not evenly distributed throughout the country. In some areas, rain has started to fall regularly, while in other places, it still feels like waiting for guests who have not yet arrived. Where I live, it rains almost every day. Some areas have even faced puddles, early signs of flooding.

Musim hujan telah tiba di Indonesia. Meski begitu, hujan belum merata di seluruh penjuru negeri. Di beberapa daerah, hujan mulai turun secara rutin, sementara di tempat lainnya, masih terasa seperti menunggu tamu yang belum datang. Di tempat saya tinggal, hujan hampir setiap hari mengguyur bumi. Beberapa kawasan bahkan sudah menghadapi genangan air, tanda-tanda awal banjir.

However, today was different. The sky above looked bright with a charming blue, although thin clouds floated here and there. A sight that rarely appears in the rainy season. It felt like being given a small gift from nature. I didn't want to miss that moment.

Namun, hari ini berbeda. Langit di atas tampak cerah dengan biru yang memesona, meskipun awan tipis melayang di sana-sini. Sebuah pemandangan yang jarang muncul di musim hujan. Rasanya seperti diberi hadiah kecil dari alam. Momen itu tidak ingin saya lewatkan.

Immediately, I took the drone and prepared to head to a location that I had always admired. The place was an Islamic boarding school, located at the foot of a hill, surrounded by lush green forests. The natural beauty felt so calming, as if taking me to a world far from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Segera, saya mengambil drone dan bersiap menuju sebuah lokasi yang selalu saya kagumi. Tempat itu adalah sebuah pesantren, terletak di kaki bukit, dikelilingi oleh hutan hijau yang asri. Keindahan alamnya terasa begitu menenangkan, seakan membawa saya ke dunia yang jauh dari hiruk-pikuk kehidupan kota.

Upon arrival, I immediately flew the drone to capture the view from the air. From the control screen, I could see the stunning harmony of nature, the modest Islamic boarding school buildings, decorated with green trees, and small paths winding through the lush leaves.

Setibanya di sana, saya langsung menerbangkan drone untuk menangkap pemandangan dari udara. Dari layar kontrol, saya bisa melihat harmoni alam yang memukau, bangunan pesantren yang bersahaja, dihiasi pepohonan hijau, dan jalan setapak kecil yang berliku di antara rimbunnya dedaunan.

However, the rainy season shows its nature. In an instant, the blue sky turns gray. White clouds turn pitch black, bringing signs of heavy rain that will soon fall. My time to take photos was limited.

Namun, musim hujan menunjukkan sifat alaminya. Dalam sekejap, langit biru berubah menjadi kelabu. Awan putih berganti hitam pekat, membawa tanda hujan deras yang akan segera turun. Waktu saya untuk mengambil foto pun terbatas.

Although it was only for a short time, I managed to get a few pictures that, in my opinion, were enough to describe the beauty and serenity of the place. That day was an unforgettable experience: enjoying the clear sky in the middle of the rainy season, then watching nature change so quickly.

Meskipun hanya sebentar, saya berhasil mendapatkan beberapa gambar yang, menurut saya, cukup untuk menggambarkan keindahan dan ketenangan tempat tersebut. Hari itu menjadi pengalaman yang tak terlupakan: menikmati langit cerah di tengah musim hujan, lalu menyaksikan alam berubah dengan begitu cepat.

Here are some of the photos I captured. Hopefully, they can bring a little happiness and inspiration to those of you who see them. Enjoy!

Berikut ini adalah beberapa foto yang saya abadikan. Semoga bisa membawa sedikit kebahagiaan dan inspirasi bagi Anda yang melihatnya. Selamat menikmati!
