Sky Watch: Denok and Blue Sky
We visited the Bogor Palace last Monday during the Open Palace for Public
event that will be end on Saturday. The afternoon blue sky was really welcoming
us!
When visiting the Bogor Palace (Bogor city, West Java, Indonesia), besides
the amazing structure of the palace itself, you will enjoy the view of shady
trees, the roaming deer, and also the beautiful sculptures. One of the most beautiful
statues is Denok, the statue that made by an artist from Solo named Trubus.
The Denok statue created from the combination
of two women. The body model was taken from the body of a daughter of Ernest
Dezentje (a painter) while her face taken from a young woman named Ara, the daughter
of a staff at Bogor Palace.
Denok made of stone brought from Tasik (West Java, Indonesia) by the first Indonesia President, Soekarno, in the 1950s. Mr. Soekarno was an enthusiastic artwork collector.
This sculpture located in the outdoor area near the main building, precisely
on the right side. Denok has always been one of the main goals of people who
visited Bogor Palace. Due to its beauty and strategic placement, many visitors took
time to pose with Denok. Data source: presidenri.go.id

It's a beauty to have this statue still standing tall in Indonesia,
in my place it would have been torn down by some religious bigots long ago.
Terrific capture and beautiful skies for a background!! Thanks for sharing!! Have a great weekend!
