Under the cover of night, the Tengger Caldera unfolds with the smoking Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru rising in the distance, while the Milky Way arches across the sky above. The landscape feels primordial, as if it could have existed in the age of the dinosaurs — a timeless scene on the Indonesian island of Java.
