IMG_2052 * I'm on holiday. Yeah! * 3648 x 2736 * (2.15MB)

IMG_1965 * Balinese Hinduism is a very demanding religion in terms of time you have to dedicate to making offerings etc. Here a group are preparing to put offerings in the ocean to neutralise the not so nice spirits that live in the ocean. * 3648 x 2736 * (3.05MB)

IMG_1966 * Here we go. * 3648 x 2736 * (2.19MB)

IMG_1967 * Putting the offerings in the ocean. Just about every day we went to the beach there was something going on. They offerings make a mess of the beach though. They are all made of natural materials so I guess they'll decompose eventually but what a mess. * 3648 x 2736 * (2.62MB)

IMG_1969 * Mika taking a dip. * 2736 x 3648 * (2.52MB)

IMG_1976 * This sign amused me. It turns out they sell rather mundane things like shirts, bags etc. with hard edge designs (e.g. designs similar to hard rock, skaters etc.). * 3648 x 2736 * (2.6MB)

IMG_1978 * We visited a store that makes batik everything and they showed us how it was done. First you draw a pattern on the fabric and then outline trace the pattern with wax. * 3648 x 2736 * (2.32MB)

IMG_1977 * This woman is tracing the pattern with a hot wax dispenser. Then it is dyed and the wax is removed to leave patterned cloth. * 2736 x 3648 * (2.94MB)

IMG_2134 * Among the fabrics we bought were sarongs. Both men and women wear sarongs regularly. * 2736 x 3648 * (2.44MB)

IMG_1983 * They also dye thread before it is weaved. Here are threads strung up so that a pattern can be put on the thread with wax before dyeing. * 2736 x 3648 * (3.48MB)

IMG_1984 * This is thread after it has been dyed and it is now ready to be weaved. * 2736 x 3648 * (3.6MB)

IMG_1980 * Those threads are then weaved in order to produce a solid sheet of cloth. * 2736 x 3648 * (3.1MB)

IMG_1985 * This is an art store. Everything in Bali is ornately decorated. * 2736 x 3648 * (3.0MB)

IMG_1986 * This artist is doing a traditional balinese design with pen and ink/ * 3648 x 2736 * (2.92MB)
