Sunset in Sumatra

 

 

The picture at the top of these pages is of a sunset is over a volcano called “Mount Tujuh”, which overlooks Lake Gunung Tujuh, within the Kerinci National Park in Western Sumatra. The Indonesian name is “Danau Gunung Tujuh” which translates as “Seven Mountain Lake,” a  reference to seven peaks comprising the forested rim. The tallest of them rises 2732m above sea level, while the lake surface sits at 1950m. The lake is about 100m deep. The picture of the mountain is very similar to one on Wikipaedia.
