Tanah Lot Temple, Bali, Indonesia. Tanah Lot means 'Land in the Middle of the Sea' in Balinese language. Located about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a huge offshore rock which has been shaped continously over the years by the ocean tide.

Unfortunately, I was not able to shoot a close-up of this fascinating temple, because just after sunset, it was already too dark.

Extra Info: Founded in the 16th century by Nirartha, a Hindu priest who was travelling through Bali. One day he saw a shining light, came to the coast and found it shining from the fresh water spring. The locals disagreed. He meditated and pushed a chunk of rock out into the sea, which the temple now stands on. He dedicated the temple to the God of the Sea, and ever since people have treated this as very special.

Ramayana is the Java's finest example of storytelling in stone in which the epic is egrved on the wall of Siwa Temple in the complex of Prambanan sanctuaries. Prambanan's version of the Ramayana differs somewhat from the original Indian epic, reflecting the adaptation to Javanese sensibilities over the centuries.

The story and all things about Ramayana (and other related story) moved to Bali same as when Hindu's people escaped when Majapahit Kingdom was destructed. That's why Javanese culture still have relationship with the Balinese one.

the full story of Ramayana can you read here (http://www.yogyes.com/en/yogyakarta-cultural-performance/sendratari-ramayana/)

In the 1990s, the tourism industry in Bali boomed. Many Balinese became rich during this period. But farmers, the traditional upholders of the Balinese economy, became poorer. Costs of agricultural production and the cost of living went up, and the price of agricultural products, especially rice, rose very little. Farmers turned to other work, usually in tourism-related sectors, to make a living. Farmland was converted to other (usually tourism-related) uses. Young people were more attracted to the glamorous prospects offered by tourism than the hard work, dirty clothes and poor pay of farming.

The bombs in Kuta in October 2002 were not the end of tourism, but they were the beginning of the end of the fantasy, blindly held through the boom-years, that tourism was a sustainable long-term base for the Balinese economy. In the wake of the bomb, some advocated a more diversified and sustainable economic base. Many realised that agriculture had been forgotten - or at least marginalised - and that it should perhaps be reinstated at the centre of Balinese culture and economy. Some policy makers suggested developing agro-industri and agri-bisnis to compete in the global market.
