3 fotos of one of Bali's more controversial sights, the Garuda Wishnu Kencana park. Somebody got the idea to build a statue taller than the Statue of Liberty on Bali. Lots of people opposed the project, especially some ex-pats, but we actually like it quite well. Not yet complete, possibly never.
Our gang at The Pondok, a farm upcountry we visit almost every Sunday. We walk 1/2 a kilometer down to the house, take hikes in the ricefields, have a real farmer's lunch, go home relaxed.
Wayan and Kadek dressed for a ceremony next door to our house.
The view from our artist friend Mariasta's studio. One of the best in Bali. I've photographed these "sawah" a hundred times. This is one of my favorite shots.
Mariasta's dad preparing the field for new rice plantings.
Mr.Obama is very popular here, having lived in Indonesia as a young boy.
Baby rice plants will be moved to the big fields soon.
