Sarangan Lake

Sarangan Lake is located at the foot of Mt. Lawu, a stratovolcano on the border of Central and East Java. Though serene from this angle, behind me was bustling tourist activity, as where there are lakes in Java, there are also people looking to swim, fish, ride boats, and more commonly, take selfies. Still, from its elevated position, the lake is blessed with fresh air and cool winds, both precious respites from city life in the tropics.
