Archive photograph Barong Temple (two buildings) 2014-05-31.jpg — Crisco 1492 (Chris Woodrich), CC BY-SA 3.0. Taken on 31 May 2014 and uploaded on 2 June 2014. EXIF records Adobe Photoshop CC Windows with a file change on 2 June 2014. Camera make/model fields were not observed in the inspected byte metadata. Exact source operations are unverified. Wikimedia Commons resized the photograph from 4645 × 3405 to 1280 × 938 pixels. Floopel received that file without additional cropping or image editing, and its media system processed it for display. Cropping before the source upload and metadata retention in the public photograph have not been established. This archive view depicts the place at the time of capture.

Why it matters

Two stone structures draw the eye at Barong Temple. This Hindu complex stands on a karst hill in Sambirejo, Prambanan. DIY heritage documentation records terraced grounds, niches and kala-head ornaments on the structures. The archive photograph shows both temples from one angle, bringing their stonework, roof forms and spacing into a shared view. Following the lines from the base to the roof offers a way to read the architecture, while the surrounding grounds invite attention to its relationship with the hill. Observe from permitted routes to protect the reliefs and stonework; the photograph does not provide permission to climb or enter restricted parts.
