A mind of a writer is mysterious. The beauty of a writer lies on the writing itself. The heart of a writer can be seen when the ink creates a word. The dangerous mind is a mind full of ideas with an expression of its own creativity. The mind of a writer is dangerous,mysterious and excited to tell a story. Something to think about, something to laugh, something to share, something to learn.
I LOVE WATERFALLS!!
There is something so magical, relaxing and beautiful about waterfall.
The view, the sound of the water, the quietness, the mystery of the nature, the surrounding,
it is almost like the taste of heaven for me :)
My husband swam under the waterfall when we were in Maui, Hawaii.
This waterfall is hidden, so if you are doing your "Hana Trip",
make sure to look it up! The water is clean, refreshing and the view is beautiful!
The KRI Dewaruci (sometimes spelled Dewa Ruci or Dewarutji; KRI: Kapal Perang Republik Indonesia) is a Class A tall ship and the only tall mast ship of the Barquentine class owned and operated by the Indonesian Navy.
She is used as a sail training vessel for naval cadets and is the largest tall ship in the Indonesian fleet. The Dewaruci also serves as a goodwill ambassador for the country of Indonesia to the rest of the world.
Built in Germany by HC Stülcken & Sohn. Construction on the Dewaruci began in 1932, but was suspended due to the outbreak of World War II, which caused heavy damage to the shipyard where she was being constructed. She was finally completed in 1952 and launched in 1953. Since then, she has been based out of Surabaya on the Java Sea. Her name and figurehead represent and display the mythological Indonesian god of truth and courage.
Until now, KRI Dewaruci is still operational and periodically visits other foreign countries to meet other tall ships around the world.
The Dewaruci also participates in tall ship races and events around the world. As a unique feature, the ship has her own marching band. In 2010 the "Dewaruci"'s marching band delighted and entertained the crowds in Hartlepool at the Tall Ships Crew Parade. Their energy, enthusiasm, and skill won them the prize for the best crew in the crew parade.
Due to age, the Dewaruci is to be pensioned and displayed at naval museum. The Indonesian Parliament has agreed to buy a new tall ship and has appropriated $80 million (Rp720 billion) for the purpose. The new ship will continue as the Dewaruci. The new vessel is to be completed in 2014.
