The Colours of Bali

bamboo mat used in Desa Seni


During my first trip to Bali, March 2007, I thought every Balinese was an artist. They can either dance, paint, carve etc etc.. and now I realize - the whole of Bali is like one big gallery, studio or carving workshop.
The Balinese are blessed not only with all the beautiful materials available locally, but also their talents and creativity.



These are some of the shots along Jalan Seminyak I would like to share with you.

typical entrance to a private courtyard

Hope these pics bring back memories to those of you who have visited Bali before. Hope to return to Bali at least one more time in 2008.
