"Tugu Jogja". This name is very famous in my city, also in my country I guess. Tugu which means monument or you may call it a big shaft (maybe) is a concrete that designed for a long time to remember something. Yogyakartans are proud of this one. The king of Mataram (Yogyakarta) whose called Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono I build it around 3 centuries ago. This Tugu was called Tugu Golong-Gilig which 25 meters tall. On June 10, 1867, This old tugu was destroyed by an earthquake which shocked Mataram (name of Yogyakarta before changed). It's good that Dutch Colonialist cooperate with Sulto to rebuild it on 1889. Since then, Tugu Jogja remains as a silent witness of every changes of Mataram/Yogyakarta.
So, what's up with this awkward photo? *lol* It's a shame that I do some mistake while taking this photograph. I used Canon PowerShot G12 wit ISO-8 and f/8 buuuttt....ex.time was 15 seconds! I know that in the night which is very hard to got some lights we need to add a flash to capture good picture. But, somehow I like this picture. tehe~
