Bali Photo of the Day ~ Bali Temple Shrine

Hello and welcome to your Bali Photo of the day.  While touring a temple in West Bali I noticed the sun coming through the foliage of this ancient tree and the way it illumnated the Hindi shrine. I loved the light, the craftsmanship of the stone carvers, and the feel of the location. I hope you enjoy it as well.
