Pura Taman Saraswati
After traveling half way around the world, (30+ hours in airports/airplanes with 3 layovers), and then having a limited number of days and daylight hours, it is hard to narrow down photo opportunities when visiting such a beautiful, culturally rich and interesting place as Bali. But having to do just that, I opted to concentrate on the history, culture and people rather than the landscapes, beach scenes and sunsets. (After all, a beautiful sunset over the ocean occurs in many places!) Most Balinese are Hindu, and their religious practices and rituals permeate their every day lives. They say there are at least 200,000 temples and monuments on this small island, some dating back to the 10th century. This is Pura Taman Saraswati, built in honor of Saraswati, the deity of learning and the arts.

Gonna be some amazing pictures I think!
Walking on the path, Lotus water lilies either side, this is so beautiful.
Looks like such a peaceful quiet place.
It will be refreshing to see your take on Bali. Our impression from the media is that it is a place for undesirable Australians to have a cheap holiday. In saying that my daughter and her girlfriend just had a week there and loved the lay back relaxing time she had. I believe there are the nice places and not so nice places to be like many destinations in the world.
i like the well composed image kerri and I am sure you had a ball of a time there. Have a great week ahead.
