Sun Rise from the Borobudur Temple

The Borobudur Temple in Central Java (Indonesia), is the largest and one of the most important and visited Buddhist temples in the world dating back to the 9th century. It has been rediscovered in the 19th century and slowly returned to being a place of worship, recovering its spiritual memory.
To take this image, showing the progressive enlightment of the awakening Buddha, Heinz Plenge climbed up to the top of a platform of Borobudur at around 3 am in the morning. While looking for the best position to take the picture in the dark, he stumbled and fell from one floor of the monument to the other, scaring his whole team. Fortunately he only broke a camera flash.
