Bali Photo of the Day

We have run the Bali Photo of the Day for years but now it has its own special page. Big deal, right? No, not really. We understand that but to kick it off, here is the inaugural Bali Photo of the day.

Bali's sacred Tanah Lot TempleTodays Bali Photo of the Day takes us to Pura Tanah Lot on Bali's west coast.

Many know Tanah Lot as one of the most beautiful Hindu temples of the world and much has been written about its majesty and power. As we have blogged about previously Tanah Lot is one of Bali's seven sea temples to protect against and worship the Balinese Sea Gods. The temple serves many other purposes as well. We have spoken at length about the spiritual attributes of Tanah Lot and you can read them below.
