This saturday we went to the Pasar Malam Besar, which is the biggest Indonesian culture festival in Holland. Also it was the 50st birthday of the Pasar, so it was extra big this year, with lots of things to see, do, and (don't forget) eat. Reason enough for us to pay them a visit, of course with our camera's. Here are some of the pictures I took...(at the bottom of this article you'll find a link to all photographs of this event).

Looks like you had fun :D!
The photos are lovely, but I like the "Javanese dance from Surakarta" the best (actually along with the first photo of the ladies dancing) it looks as if he was posing for you to take the shot.

Hi Ladykin,

No, he wasn't posing at all. On the contrary, with so little light and so much movement, it was kinda difficult to get a clear shot ;)
