Friends
Being guardians of temples for ages now would surely have turned these from colleagues to friends…

Base of a decorative vessel with a stem. I chanced upon this while roaming around the Goa Gajah temple, Bali. Just look at the patterns on it!

Sunset and the cliff
Sunset, and the edge of a cliff that houses a temple. At Uluwatu, Bali..
Waves
This picture is from one of my attempts at long exposure photography without a tripod, especially when there was no elbow support to keep my arms steady. 😀 Not deterred by the initial blurred results with longer exposures, I was able to manage this fairly good picture with an exposure time of slightly more than half a second. (Hurrah!)

Pure bliss
… is enjoying a beautiful sunset. Even when in a crowd. Have you ever noticed how fast the sun sets when you’re looking at it! I’d to hurry and click pictures before it sizzled off into the sea. I must say I was lucky to get pictures with no people walking past at just the right wrong moment. 🙂.

Rice terraces
With the vacationing Leanne now back home, Monochrome Madness returns with a vengeance, 🙂 with this week being a themed one — Country. I think I have just the picture from my recently concluded vacation at Bali — rice terraces. I clicked this while we were seated for lunch in between our visits to temples, and added a slight split tone during post-processing to accentuate the super-hot afternoon.
Though this is far from a perfect rice terrace photograph, I like it because it reminds me very much of the paddy fields (not terraced ones, though) in my ancestral home town. Well, most of our time in Bali brought back memories of my home town, actually (starting with the weather. 🙂 ) I think this makes the picture also eligible for Sylvain’s latest SL-week theme — Memory!
[Update] Sylvain just let me know that I have won the Memory-themed challenge! Thank you for the wonderful opportunity that you provide through this challenge, Sylvain! 🙂
