Good afternoon to all my beloved Hive friends and to all my respected Architecture+Design friends 鈾ワ笍
I can't believe it's been four days since I've been in the city of Banda Aceh (the westernmost province of Indonesia) and the days have continued to pass as they should. In those four days, of course, I've done a lot of traveling around this city and I've managed to see a lot of beauty, from natural beauty, urban beauty to the many architectural beauties of every building or monument in this city.
And I can say that in the city of Banda Aceh there are many beautiful monuments, some of which are even on the side of the road or in the middle of the road, this city with a thousand stories does indeed hold many stories and history so that the existing monuments must have their own stories.
And today, precisely in the morning, I want to satisfy my curiosity about a monument located in the city center, a very interesting monument and has a shape like the tip of a pen, that's why this monument is often called the pen monument.
From the hospital where my mother was treated to the monument was quite far so I had to book a bus to be able to go there, my curiosity about the pen monument was very strong because I had heard the story before visiting it Lol.
Maybe after traveling for about 20 minutes, I finally arrived at a bus stop where the bus stops to pick up and drop off passengers.
I deliberately took a picture of this bus stop because the building itself has a unique architecture and several chairs that have interesting designs. And after paying the fare, I immediately walked towards the pen monument which was my main destination.
Maybe from a distance of fifty meters I could see the pen monument building.
Seeing that the monument was in front of my eyes, I immediately walked towards the monument and photographed its beauty from whatever distance I deemed appropriate.
The architecture of this building is already visible even though the distance is still quite far. I photographed this monument not only from one angle because at the end of this monument you can see the real impression of this monument, which is like the shape of a pen tip.
The location of this monument is very strategic, it is right in the middle of a crossroads so that most likely many people from all directions will pass by this monument so that its beauty can be enjoyed by almost everyone who passes by.
Not satisfied with the long distance, I immediately walked to approach this monument, and of course had to cross the road first.
After feeling close to this building, I returned to capture its beauty.
And this is the closest distance I managed to cover.
According to the information I have received from several people, this monument itself is a symbol that commemorates the hard work of students in the past in seeking knowledge, that's why the tip of this monument is made from the tip of a pen.
Maybe many things have changed from this monument starting from the color of the paint, but in terms of shape, this monument remains the same and there are no changes and will not be changed unless renovated so that it is not damaged. Look at the architecture of this building, it is truly extraordinary, isn't it? This is the impression and beauty that we can witness from this monument, the art of its architecture is truly extraordinary
The tip of the monument which is shaped like a pen tip would not be perfect if I only photographed it from one angle, and to be able to see the grandeur of this building, I immediately walked to almost all sides of the road to be able to capture the beauty of this monument perfectly.
I went back across the street and looked at some of the pictures below which show each side differently so the appearance of the pen tip will be different as well.
Different sides then the penamDifferent sides then the appearance of the tip of this monument will also be different
And perhaps it is from this side that the beauty and architectural value of this building is truly visible.
I had to walk around the monument to produce images from various angles like this, which was certainly tiring. I think I have managed to capture every detail of the architectural value of this monument well, so I immediately felt satisfied.
After feeling satisfied with the results I got, I immediately walked to the side of the road and decided to go home to the hospital because it was time for me to replace my father to take care of my mother, but this time I didn't order a bus service but an online motorcycle taxi because I wanted to capture every beauty and architecture that I found on the road later.
I still photograph every beauty that has architectural value from my motorbike and I advise online motorcycle taxi drivers to drive their motorbikes slowly so that I can capture the beauty that I see.
I managed to take a good picture of the newly constructed building and this image also has great architectural value.
And this is my first post in this beloved community, so I apologize profusely if I make any mistakes, because I am only human and not free from mistakes馃檹馃檹
Well, those are some pictures and stories from me in this post, I really hope that this post can provide entertainment for all of my friends. All of these pictures are purely my own, I took this picture using an Infinix 10 Pro cellphone and edited this picture using the Lightroom application.
