Going home is always a special moment for me. This means we do not just travel but also traveling. Visit the hidden paradises around the house due to the limited time.
How lucky I am, who owns the birthplace of Klaten, a small town flanked by two cities of Yogyakarta and Solo. City that seemed endless will be the richness of tourism both natural, cultural and man-made.
Lebaran yesterday we are not going home. Instead go back to the village ahead of Eid al-Adha. Railway transportation mode became a mainstay.
My choice fell on the Lodaya Bandung-Klaten train (the final destination of Solo Racing) which will lead us to meet with parents and other relatives.
The second day at home, we immediately searched for a fast-reaching sights. The plan we want to Ijo Temple which he said has a beautiful sunset. But, due to the more late afternoon on the recommendation of the father of the shop owners on the roadside, we stopped at the Barong Temple.
I'm the one who might be. For its location not too far from Prambanan Temple, I just found out about this temple.
The temple complex is not very wide. To get to the main temple must walk first through the park and courtyard and up the stairs. And look at the sun that will go to the bed. It's not beautiful. "Like in the movies!" I said to Darma Legi, the husband who perpetuated his shot.
I hardly describe it with words. So beautiful, eyes stunned, I geming watched the sun slowly leaving the teak tree that disinarinya.
The golden light began to override the temple building that ruins found in 1913 by the Dutch. Not far on the north side, Merapi was no less handsome. Incomparable charm.
Sunset or sunrise becomes a natural phenomenon that may be the most sought traveler or hunter of photography. The nearest star to the earth is always interesting.
Despite night and night turns every night, but the sun always has a different side where it is viewed.
From the tops of the mountains we are willing to penetrate the chill in the early morning for the prettiest sunrise. On the shore, accompanied by the pounding of the waves we are waiting for the sun to sink at the horizon. Of course with a factor of luck is also because sometimes the weather is not friendly or clouds that hinder the primadona photographer.
If there is no time to Parangtritis, Barong Temple located on top of one of these hillside mountains can be an alternative to sunset lovers.
This Hindu temple overlooks the setting of the sun with views of fields and barren hills. It is said that this geographical condition that underlies the construction of the temple.
A temple used for worship begs fertility on Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Therefore, Barong Temple is a symbol of fertility.
Related names Barong taken from barong statues or kala that is around the temple. Barong is believed to be the embodiment of a lion or bear (bakhruang / baruang, Kawi language) which is a symbol of goodness or victory.
The complex is still relatively quiet visitors, probably because of its location on the hill. Hidden or mblus through the teak trees on the left and right of the road. Without a directional guide, no one would think there were temples in a location like this.
Not far from this location there are ruins of the temple which he said will soon be built. Oh yeah, from here we can see the bridge that is famous with the sunset it also you know.
Interested here, easy access. It's good to use private vehicles. Bring lunch is also fun because there are some pendopo for us to rest.
If from the direction of Solo turn left at the border gate of Central Java Province and Yogyakarta Special Region. Just follow the road until uphill. After arriving at Abhyagiri approximately one kilometer to the right of the road is the location of Barong Temple. Precisely in Dukuh Candisari, Sambirejo, Prambanan, Sleman Yogyakarta.
