Tanah Lot – a Hindu temple well known around the world. It’s difficult to photograph something like this without leaving a feeling of “seen that before”.

For them, even Jakartans are tourists, and the big city a whole world away. The spectacular drive affords time to beginRead more

I have such a strong attraction to the ocean that I can’t help but take too many shots. The weekend took a sharp downturn for the worst last night on the drive home as we encountered 6 hours of stop and go traffic.Read more
Strength and Beauty
