My Two Favorite Object – Nymphaea Rubra and Bogor Palace

There are two objects that can be said as my favorite as a photographer (well, I am in confident mood today). Both are coming from my hometown, Bogor City, a city 60 kilometer southern Jakarta the capital.

The first is the historical place not only for Bogor but also Indonesia because it was once the center of the government of Dutch East Indie centuries ago, the Bogor Palace.

The second one is a flower. No, it is not Rose or Orchid. I like cheaper flower. It is the nymphaea, especially the Rubra, the pink one. It looks gorgeous and in a photograph, it provides active color and definitely a beauty.

It is also cheap because I don’t have to plant it in front of my house. When I want to see it, then I just go to Bogor Botanical Garden as there are lots of nymphaea on one of the ponds.

Hopw about if both of them are put into the same photo? Can the photo provide the same beauty as if it is taken individually?

Well, you can find the answer on the above picture.
