The view of Cemoro Lawang from the viewpoint of Penanjakan 1, Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park in Surabaya.  Photographers are a bunch of crazy people - to get this shot, we had to reserve the spot at Penanjakan 1 since 10.30 pm the night before.  The view at Penanjakan 1 is only one of two viewing points to see Bromo's legendary sunrise of Mount Batok.
Penanjakan 1's viewing point has very limited tripod spaces.  The small viewing space will be full of people as early as 2 am, all waiting for the sunrise at 6.30 am.  Upon securing our tripod spaces at 10.30 am, we had to wait almost eight hours in freezing cold (the coldest I have ever experienced in my life) for the sunrise the next day.
