Lee Ali powers past me when I paused to take it all in. Lake Toba, 21st March 2008
Although I love to indulge in sleeping in once in a while, I love mornings. And I’m fortunate in that often times I sleep well (like a pig actually!) and I get up refreshed particularly if I’d had a hard day like when we did on our kayaking expedition at Lake Toba, North Sumatra.
Magic light breaks over Lake Toba - how it feels to be alive. 21st March 2008
On the first day of kayaking we were on the water for about 15 hours and by the time (and after we had paddled through a storm in pitch darkness) we were able to reach shore to find suitable accommodation for the night it was close to midnight! And on the second and third day, again we were forced to paddle well past after sunset!

However we were blessed with good weather and light and I managed to capture some quite stunning (well I think so anyway!) morning shots on our first day of kayaking and so here are they. Enjoy them and enjoy the rest of the working week.
A beautiful and peaceful moment in time @ Lake Toba - sheer magic. 21st March 2008

Francis, Great Blog, Good Read! = )
Despite the physical demands, I must agree the views of Toba rocked us all.
Why do we live, why do we row..
Hi Mindy!
Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, my blog plods along irreverently somewhat.
Yes the views of Lake Toba seen from a kayak is definitely worth all the efforts. And we are so privileged.
We paddle - therefore we are.
I think these are among your best photos. Stunning is the right word.
Some really interesting points you have written. Assisted me a lot, just what I was searching for : D.
