With baskets of soil balanced on their heads, three Balinese women ascend the stairs of a performance theater in Ubud, Bali. The graceful stance of the laborers is reminiscent of the dancers who perform there regularly in the evenings.

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.
great set of shots, love the 3rd one.
Thank you, Mark. I also liked the verticality of the scene (the ladies standing tall, the stairs leading upward…)
Really nice images. Lovely light.
Paljon kiitoksia, Mirjam :-) I look forward to learning more about the work you do in the Ukraine via your blog.
Thank Tricia.
I also followed you, nice get know you.
Thank you. :-) I hope your week is off to a super start!
Very cool pics.
Thank you, Daniel.
Lovely images, Tricia! The b&w treatment worked really well. Bali was my R&R destination when I worked with the UN in West Timor and it was in Bali where I saw lady laborers in construction work hauling construction materials in similar baskets from the ground to 2nd or 3rd floor of the building under construction. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Jessie. How long did you work in West Timor? It sounds as though you’ve had such a fascinating and meaningful career.
