Local government built ponds to reserve water.  The pond is called Embung. One Pond is located in highest mountain in Gunungkidul, Sriten. So they call it Embung Sriten, local people call it Embung Batara.

route from Malioboro street

It took almost an hour from Wonosari to the peak. It's because of unfinished road to there. When I was there on February 2015 workers did their job to finish. It will need high cost to accomplish all site including road, facilities etc.
But we can go there and enjoy the view. I think sunrise/sunset time will be great view.

Pisowanan Agung, people's present for the King

Jogjakarta Province had a branding named, Jogja Never Ending Asia which was created around 15 years ago. After all these times, many things have been changed. The most significant thing was acknowledgment of Jogjakarta status as Daerah Istimewa (Very Special Region) that was legalized with Act number 13/2012. 
The King of Jogja Palace who is also Governor of Jogja wanted to change the brand.
After interesting process involved Markplus, people, artist, graphic designer etc., finally the new brand was finished.
