Some IR manipulation
We spent our first night in Villa Teluk Bunga, part of Hotel Tiara Bunga complex located at Tarabunga Beach not far from Balige, Danau Toba. This place is isolated and can only be reached by using chartered boat from the jetty at Hotel Herti, Balige - there is no land access unless you willing to walk on foot for 2-3 hours.
Balige, the nearest town to this place is the capital of Tobasamosir regency. Located at southern of Danau Toba
The room is priced from around 350,000 until 1.5 million rupiah. Relatively expensive but worth it. We stay at the 700,000 rupiah/night room but thanks to Pak Sebastian (fellow photographer from Balige) we managed to get quite a hefty discount for both room and boat rates.
After fajr prayer, we proceed to the east side to capture sunset. Slightly disappointed as it is a bit cloudy and the sunrise glow is minimal but that is part and parcel of being landscape photographer. You can only photograph what is given to you and try to make the best out of it.
