To my Canadian friends and family…Happy Canada Day!

Sunset on the weekend

This is the other Lombok sunset photo I managed to take.

Oh yeah…that island one the horizon? Bali.

I spent last week in Lombok with my family.  There were a few moments of total relaxation and calm, and all of them were directly associated with being in the ocean.  Well, the Lombok Strait in the Bali Sea, which is an extension of the Indian Ocean.  I love the feeling of standing in wet sand while the waves attempt to bury me.

Tanah Lot Water Temple

As you can see, there is no temple in this photo. The people standing knee-deep in water are carrying offerings from the mainland of Bali (Bali is an island…does it have a “mainland”?) to the Tanah Lot temple, which is located on a small, but considerable, rock just slightly offshore.

Their numbers are due in large part to the full moon that was occurring that night…and being a religious people who put great stock in the lunar cycle, there were many, many people all around Bali bringing offerings to their temples at this time.
