"Beautiful Poem"

This old lady posed for me and I asked her to hold in her hands some flowers. The combination of textures between them and how softly she hold the flowers, make this picture very special to me.

"Gooses"

As every animal living in Bali, they are free to move all around. However, thousands of birds live inside cages. They consider birds as an animal that gives good luck.

"Waterfall"

Many people don't have yet water at home. So when it's "mandi" time, as they have been doing during hundreds of years, the river is the place for cleaning themselves. Amazing.

"Lights & Shadows"

Again at Denpasar's Central Market, one of my favorites places. This woman, having only half left arm, doesn't imagine how beautiful she appears on the picture. God bless u Ibu.

"Rent A Car...or whatever"

Oh yes. I love Bali. No more comments.

"Peacefull Sleep"

I like to see people sleeping...specially children. Looks like if that time were the real life, where you are alone with your own dreams.

"Sweet Dreams"

Very close to Denpasar's Central Market. This mother and her two children are having a rest. It's so lovely to see how this young mother takes care of her children's sleep. And they are enjoying a very sweet dream... just on the street.

"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.
