"No Sex On The Beach"

What a nice surprise when I came back home and edit this picture, and suddenly found this warning "No Sex On The Bith". Simply Lovely.

"To the Next Life"

When there's a traffic accident and someone dies, which is very often unfortunately, many people stop by. After covering the corpse with plastics or whatever they can find, the people "help" the family with some money. I got really surprised the first time.

"Inside Bali"

Out of the touristic routs is where I find the beautiful and always pictoric and photogenic inspiration. Lights and shadows creating a bucolic scenery.

"Rice Fields"

To me, is at the rice fields where maybe the essence of tradition appears strongly because of the straight connection with Mother Earth and the omnipresent rice.

"My Mum Protecs Me"

This mother and her little baby are having a rest in a very hot day at Denpasar. I found this image totally lovely and endearing. Doesn't matter if they are on the street. On his mother's arms he is gonna always be protected.

"Here I am"

This man and another friends hang out everyday, at the same place. One day I invited them for a coffee and we got a nice conversation about life.

"Before the Ceremony"

Takes some time to get everything ready before the ceremony. These young boys are having a rest before the great event.

"Blessing Water"

Water. This essential and necessary element for living, is of course used at any ceremony as a symbol of purification and blessing. Balinese people wash their faces and heads three times and drink it also three times.

"Sunset"

Magical moments that sunsets bring us very often during the year. This one, was the sunset before to "The Day of Silence". Extremely beautiful.

"I'm not in a Hurry"

I was fixing my bike in what is called "Bengkel". The mechanic was not in a hurry to work actually. So did I. Patience. "Sabar"

"Bicycle"

Bicycles are other of my favorites topics...and the people who drive them. The old ones are made by a very heavy metal, driven by old people are even more amazing to look at.

"Bamboo"

This incredible and useful material can be used in many different ways. From a water fountain until a main house. These are waiting to be sold perfectly organized at the warehouse.

"Bridge"

When you walk across this bridge and the tracks pass by, it shakes from one side to the other. This woman didn't look too worry about the movements of the bridge. I did.

"Tree"

Naked branches facing the sky at sunset time before "The Day of Silence".

"Shop"

At midday, the sun falls really heavy so it's time to protect the beautiful and delicate materials used for the ceremonie's clothes.

"A Whole Life"

This woman almost hast lost her vision. She doesn't even how old she is, but appears full of light and life. I think she is the best model I've ever had.

"Gallon of Water"

I'm always impressed with women carrying any kind of object over their heads. As in many other countries, the hard work is made by woman.

"The Way to the Oven"

Could be a dog, but it's not, is just a pig. This animal will became, sooner or later, what Balinese people call "Babi Guling", or Roasted Pork. By the way, delicious.

"Three Bales"

Few meters above, the ocean surrounds these "Three Bales". Again, is Ceremony time, and this is a good place to take a glass of coffee and a deep breath before praying.

"Old Balinese Woman"

It's like if her history were printed over her face and skin. And I suppose that happen to all of us. This woman suddenly appeared onto the road from the forest. Such an spontaneity. How much I would have liked to be in Bali 60 years ago...or more.
