With the vivid red smoke billowing into the sky amid the misty sand dunes, these are the blissful views provided at the break of dawn at a volcano. The spectacular pictures were captured at sunrise and sunset of Mount Bromo in Indonesia by landscape photographer Helminadia Jabur. It is known for its breath-taking views at first light and it did not fail to disappoint when the 36-year-old visited the volcano, which is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java. Helminadia said: ‘The volcano is noted for its spectacular sunrises, and majestic views all the way to Semeru volcano which is located further behind it, so ever since I saw some images of the volcano, I just could not help myself to visit the area and capture it.
