Bali 2011 - Ubud, 24 December

A bit of the weather while we were in Ubud - at the front of the Water Palace, view from our room.

The same temple next door, at night.   The first stars we've seen for a while (rainy season here).

Not so talkative heads

Just hanging out.



Bali 2011- Ubud, 21 December
Part of the walk to our guest house.  Under reconstruction to handle the heavy rains.

Hanging out in the bush.


Pics from our balcony...some HDR processing...





















Storm coming.


Some pics from nearby rice fields.







   
 



Of course, what's a reasonable blog without ....... a group of friends.





 









Duck herder....quite a profession.
 A series of pics from a walk near Ubud one day, just in the order that they were shot.  Ubud itself is ....wildly developed (especially compared with 1979!)...but with all the shops and the traffic it still doesn't have the agressiveness and sour odours of some other un-named places in this general part of the world.












 

















































 
















I love the offerings in the streets in front of buildings and temples you walk by.








You should, of course, try to guarantee that your gas works.
