Anniversary Vibes in Town

Assalaamu'alaikum, wonderful people. I hope we are always blessed by and under the supervision of Allah SWT. Aamiin. 

This post is dedicated to my homeland, Indonesia, which celebrated its 79th anniversary a few days ago. The seventeenth of August is always special to me, as the vibes throughout the city are filled with red and white. These colors are synonymous with the celebration of Independence Day. 

By the way, these photos are not new; they were taken about the same time, but six years ago. Although the city looks different today, the photos bring the same spirit and beauty. 

This is what the zero point looks like when Independence Day is around the corner—my favorite place and buildings at my favorite time of the year. This post captures the atmosphere of Independence Day at the heart of Yogyakarta, wonderful people. Come! Even on August 17th in the afternoon, you can watch the Afternoon Parade before the flag-lowering ceremony.
