Bali Lagoon

 Branch Earth Trading Company

The colors of Bali. This shot is of the lagoon at the hotel I stayed at in Sanur. Sanur is the area the rich folk stay and play. Kuta is for the cheap touri and backpacker crowd. Ubud is where the artists and nature lovers gather.

Bali Breakfast

Rather than the Gamelan orchestra that is typical of other Balinese dances, as well as most Southeast Asian classical dancing, in the Kecak the only music is provided by a large chorus of bare-chested men and boys sitting in a circle just in front of the audience. This choir provides a constant accompaniment to the story, and even become actors towards the end.

Rice Field Worker

Religious to a T, the Balinese are big on offerings to the gods to sway them into bringing some good luck . . . or at least to avert disaster. Small offerings, like in this photo, get placed outside of stores and stalls, along walkways . . . anywhere the spirits need appeasement. You really have to watch where you are walking in Kuta or you’ll spend the morning squashing offerings up and down the sidewalk.

Bali God

I got tired of jotting down which god I was taking a picture of. The Balinese seem to only have a few million of them. I liked the contrast between the red of the hibiscus and grey stone on this one of a demon in Ubud, so here’s the shot!
