| About |
The original colonial building on the site of Istana Bogor was a mansion named Buitenzorg, which was built from August 1744 as a country retreat for the Dutch Governors, including also a period of British administration. Notable occupants of the mansion include Herman Willem Daendels and Sir Stamford Raffles.
This building was substantially destroyed by an earthquake in 1834, triggered by the volcanic eruption of Salak Mountain. The palace was rebuilt into its present form in 1856— this time with only one storey instead of the original three, as a precaution against further earthquakes.
From 1870 to 1942 the Istana Bogor served as the official residence of the Dutch Governors General. After Indonesian independence, the palace was much used by President Soekarno, but then largely neglected by Soeharto when he came to office.

Thank you, I was just a bit lucky, couple minutes after I took it, the cloud came over. Well, it is commonly known, that Bogor is always rainy everyday. Anyway, I find it is the challenge of infra red usage, since the more light the better is. :)
