Tourists enjoy the sunrise at one of Kelimutu Lakes, a collective name of three lakes of different colors, in Ende, Flores, on Friday morning. The number of tourists coming to the lakes have begun to rise again this month after a deep decrease in past four months due to bad weather. The lakes, which are situated about 1,690 meters above sea level, are well known for their changing colors. Before 2006, the lakes were red, blue and white. Now, the red lake is black-brown, the blue lake is light green and the white lake is black. JP/Yemris Fointuna
