Temples to the Skies

Text and photos by P.J. Leo

The "big three" of Central Java's famous temples -- Borobudur, Mendut and Prambanan -- are a magnificent legacy of the past. Built from the toil of peoples centuries ago, they have survived the years to stand as magnificent testaments to dedication and belief in overcoming human and natural obstacles. Their pinnacles reach to the skies, with the changing colors and shades of the sky providing a stunning background for their awesome splendor.
