Bali’s statues and reliefs are extraordinary. Drawing spiritual inspiration from a blend of Buddhism and Balinese Hinduism, the figures wear coats of moss and crowns of hibiscus and marigold flowers.

Hi! My name is Tricia Mitchell. I delight in telling stories about my slow travels through more than 65 countries. Some of my highlights have included sharing meals with locals in Armenia, Cambodia, and Tunisia; sipping sparkling wine with French cousins in Alsace; milking goats in a sleepy Bulgarian village; and training with a Japanese mine-clearance team in Laos. My husband, Shawn, and I are based in France’s Loire Valley.
What a lovely subject to photograph. I can imagine these statues impart a kind of calmness over the country. Great photos – as usual. You will need to blog on your learnings of DSLR snapping to help us novices!
The DSLR capabilities are a bit overwhelming – I’m trying to take in the learning a bite at a time. :-) If you google camera tutorials on Youtube, you’ll find a wealth of information there!
Oh I can imagine. I have my work cut out for me with the new camera!
I’m always amazed by the color in your photos. Such a beautiful place.
It certainly is a vibrant place, TBM. I sometimes enjoy converting my images to black & whites, but with a rainbow of colors at my disposal, around every corner, it seems it would be a crime in such an environment!
We’re saddened to leave Bali in a few days, but we’ve been so lucky to have spent 3 weeks here!
