Bali Photo of the Day ~ Bali Beach Ceremony

Today I have a nice shot from a recent Art and Culture Tour. After a long day of visiting temples, partaking in ceremonies and the like, our tour headed to Jimbaron Beach in South Bali for their famous seafood feasts as it was the last day of the tour. Typically we will head to Jimbaron for a farewell seafood dinner but this time there was a surprize for us. There were hundereds of people on the beach having a ceremony and a concert celebrating the recent environmental efforts of the local youth organization. There were floats, banners, flags and all sorts of celebratory accutemount. We got many fantastic photos and here is one...

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.

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.
