Balinese group in Pura Melanting

Wolfgang has posted:

After the visit to the temple and the blessing for the Tirta yatra festival, a group photo of the Balinese extended family came to this festival from far away.
Pura Pulaki, Pura Pabean and Pura Melanting are three temples nestled among the rugged mountains and black sands of the North Coast beaches near Pemuteran. As important as they are to Hindu Balinese, each with its own spiritual function, it is the dramatic natural environments that arouse the interest of the outsider.

Another photo from the family of my hosts in the village of Sembung, about which I have already reported many times.
Son Mayun was introduced to the Hindu community last June exactly 105 days after his birth at Tiga Bulanan festival.
The photo was taken during a temple festival in the small village temple of Sembung in the province of Mengwi on Bali and was put into the forum in the presence of mother and child.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony in Beijing

Wolfgang has posted:

The Hall of Supreme Harmon was the ceremonial throne room used for the grandest of state occasions. To preserve the fine paving stones, it is no longer possible to enter the halls, but you can admire the interiors from the front door.
My picture shows the grand throne room - and crowds of tourists.

Masters of leg-rowing

Wolfgang has posted:

This technique has the boatman standing on the stern while propelling the boat, allowing him to see over the reeds which can grow high above the water surface. This iconic image from Inle Lake, of a man wearing traditional longyi (a long dress) and standing on the boat both spreading the fishing net and rowing, has left a beautiful impression on many visitors here.
