This photo shows the ferry approaching Java from Bali. While Bali is predominantly Hindu, the majority of people on Java are Muslim. Also, while world-famous Bali is the #1 tourist island in Indonesia, Java is the seat of government.
Yogykarta, in the south-central region, is the culture capital on the island of Java.
The pointy Javanese ear ornaments sort of remind me of Star Trek Vulcan ears like Spock's.
I took this photo during a visit to a factory in Solo, Java, that produces batik. Very hot and stuffy in there, and my guide told me the average worker earns about $100 per month.
Working conditions are a lot more pleasant at the factory's outside area.
