The Story of a Flock of White Storks on the Old Tamarind Trees on The Sidewalk of Srondol Street

 

These photos and videos were probably taken in year of 2004, during my lebaran holiday in Semarang. That means 18 years ago from the time when this blog article was written now. It really is quite a long span of time.

This is just an ordinary everyday sight at that time, if we passed the Srondol Road. A main road that will be passed if someone is going out of town towards Solo or Jogjakarta and vice versa. There are rows of old tamarind trees along the pedestrian sidewalk in front of a military base, where at the top part of the high trees you can see many white storks nesting and flying back and forth. 

I still and always remember this place, very long ago those birds were already there nest in the trees. I think this scenery was very unique and full of memories that me want to just simply capture it.

Just a few days ago, I have virtual discussion with an old friend from Semarang and he said that now we can't see that scenery anymore. No more, white storks nesting and flying above the rows of those old tamarind trees........
