	Gunung Rinjani as seen from Sembalun Village
My guide, Hamzan	Rinjani from the trail head
Looking back at Sembalun
Making our way through the grasslands
	A very welcome cool mist
Made it to the rim! Hamzan with clove in hand....	Our porter, Saba
View from our camp on the rim	Clouds rolling in


	Not a bad place to camp
An incredible view from the rim	Sunset on Rinjani
Sunset and clouds	Surreal
Heavy clouds below	Last ray of sun—let the cold night begin
Bali in the distance	Sun setting on Bali in the distance
Night falling on Rinjani	Venus
15 minute exposure - Venus is the brightest object in the center, Mars is the red streak to the right	Venus light reflected off the lake below
1+ hour exposure - the North Star is below the horizon
Race to the peak for sunrise	Crazy colors in the sky!
The sky's on fire	Looking out over the water
Orange clouds	First peek at the sun—let the hot day begin
	Sunrise on Rinjani
Hamzan is looking beat, but not as bad as me	The Peak!!!! 3726 meters (12,224 ft)
	Fantabulous Sunrise
Sunrise over the water	The lake is called Segara Anak (Child of the Sea)
	View from the peak
	Self portrait
Back down to camp	Steam venting from Gunung Barujari
Segara Anak & Gunung Barujari
Hiking down to the lake	Gunung Barujari
Looking down the valley that splits the rim	Gunung Barujari from the lake
	Death march up from the lake to the rim
The peak from the Senaru rim
Sunrise from the Senaru rim	Sunrise from the Senaru rim
