The Kelimutu crater lakes have been a long time on our wish list and we’d never managed to visit this epic place during our travels in Indonesia in the late 90ies. So we were very happy that we finally made it and were lucky with some sweet light on our trip to Flores in June. In the photos, you can see two lakes: Tiwu Nua Muri Kooh Tai (Lake of Young Men and Maidens) and Tiwu Ata Polo (Enchanted Lake) that are separated by a thin crater wall. As a result of chemical reactions from volcanic gas activity, they change colours from time to time but are mostly green or brownish.
Hello, I’m Sandra – a passionate landscape photographer and solo globetrotter. In this blog I show my best landscape, nature and travel photos which have been taken during my travels around the world. I shared my passion for travel and photography with my late husband Gerd until 2018, whom I now take with me in my heart to every place I visit. Please also view my trip reports on my website Sandra Schänzer travelogues and photo galleries.
What are this amazing lakes and beautiful pictures Sandra.
