No sunset
Concentration of tourists with cameras looking for that glorious sunset shot can be very high per square foot in Bali. I was the fifth on this tiny stretch of the beach. There wasn't much of a sunset that day so this dude is taking a photo of the beach guard removing the yellow flag from the beach. And I took a photo of him doing it.
Rocking the sarongs
I wore one too. You have to wear a sarong to get into the temple grounds.

Queuing for that special moment
Bride and groom sharing the wedding photographer with some other couples are waiting for their turn to fake and capture that special moment. The bride wasn't happy because of all the dusty wind. But I think with some help from Photoshop they should have been able to fake the weather too.
In fifty years:
Ahh, do you remember that special moment? How we queued up for our turn for half an hour and how slow those bastards before us were, the bride just could not strike that pose and smile at the same time (why are you even getting married if you can't fake happiness!?). And how we spent half an hour in that water trying all those poses and got shouted at by the crew. And how our feet bled because some evil tiny creatures kept nibbling on them. And how difficult it was to pretend to smile because I was so pissed off. And how it all looked nothing like it does in this picture. But how many likes those pictures got! And how much better they were than those from X's and Y's wedding. Ahhh...

Soon
We planned to drive to Greece for a dip in the Med but had to postpone with how things are going here. Now, I will have to go to Singapore for a couple meetings soon and we will stop over in Bali. I miss the ocean.
On the way to the temple
Again, someone caught me taking this picture and is looking straight into the camera.

Shooting the sacred monkeys
This monkey had such expressive eyes, it was freaky. And almost human body language. The people around this scene could not stop laughing because when this girl approached the monkey to take pictures the monkey almost did an eye roll and looked like "Seriously? Really? Sigh...you lot are just...you just depress me so much sometimes".

Happy or terrified?
This is one of the statues in Ubud Monkey Forest in Bali. I cannot decide whether the woman looks like she is having fun and enjoying it or like she is terrified.
