Rinjani: heavens declare glory of God

In my treks, I often feel the majesty, intelligence and beautiful designs of God’s creation. It could be the sunrise or the sunset. Sometimes it’s the feeling of being above the clouds. Sometimes it’s the waterfall or the vast grasslands or cultivated fields. Or the play of light on leaves and slopes and water. Other times it’s the minute: the patterns on leaves, the saturated colours of flowers, the amazing insects. Here are some pics from this trip that makes me want to sing with the Psalmist:

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

Psalms 1:1-4 (King James Version)

The flowers and grasses that dresses the fields
The flowers and grasses that dresses the fields

Gentle slopes covered with grass

Craggy rocky slope overlooking the caldera lake

Brown coat of grass and bush

Sometimes the lake looks blue, sometimes green
Sometimes the lake looks blue, sometimes green
Clouds of witnesses seeing you summit
Clouds of witnesses seeing you summit
The sun retires after a long day
The sun gently, quietly peeps through the clouds
The skies sing a slow song to awaken the mountains
The skies sing a slow song to awaken the mountains
Covering the lake in cottonwool

The lake beckons us to its still waters
The lake beckons us to its still waters
This little creature stands out in white

Bejewelled monster of the dark

Walking in the dusk with the music of the waves

Tranquil silence

Sunny side of a lazy morning
