Image of the Day: Ayung River, Bali
By Barrie | 
No Comments » I was on my way back from Ubud last year and was fortunate to see the Ayung River in Central Bali in full flow. A spectacular river, many tour groups operate rafting expeditions along parts of its stretch.
Image of the Day: In the Padi, Bali
By Barrie | No Comments » Photographing in Bali is a pure delight with immense possibilities and especially when you get out into the countryside and away from the tourist scene.
Image of the Day: Peddling Bali
By Barrie | No Comments » Getting around the tourist strip in Bali can be done in many ways. If you are tired or just lazy then catch a taxi. Walking is good for the health, but so is riding a bicycle. Great way to burn off the calories from the previous night’s indulgence!
Image of the Day:Paddy Fields, Bali
By Barrie | No Comments » Bali is indeed a photographer’s paradise and none more so than when you get out of the tourist strip and head into the interior.
Image of the Day: Kraton Entrance, Yogyakarta, Central Java

Image of the Day: Sultan’s Palace, Yogyakarta, Central Java
By Barrie | No Comments » As I have mentioned in previous fotos of the Kraton, or Sultan’s Palace, it is a treasure in Yogyakarta that is not to be missed visiting. Put it on your itinerary now if you are heading to the cultural heart of Indonesia - Yogyakarta.
Image of the Day: Palace Guards, Yogyakarta, Central Java
By Barrie | No Comments » I always enjoy visiting the Kraton (Sultan’s Palace) and often spend a lot of time there in conversation with the Palace Guards. These Javanese folk are the guardians of the Kraton, the servants, so to speak, of the Sultan.
Image of the Day: Batik at the Kraton, Yogyakarta, Central Java
By Barrie | No Comments » Yogyakarta is not only the cultural heart of Indonesia, it boasts one of the finest Kratons in the archipelago. When you visit this beautiful city it is a must that you visit the Kraton. Here you will be able to watch Javanese women using a canting as they draw the patterns on the cloth to create spectacular pieces of Batik.
Image of the Day: Warungs, Telogo Putri, Central Java
By Barrie | No Comments » One of my favourite places near Yogyakarta in Central Java is Telogo Putri. It is a great day trip out from the city and the nearby attractions of Gunung Merapi make it worth a visit.
Image of the Day: Kebun Raya Botanical Gardens, Bali
By Barrie | No Comments » For the botanically inclined,the Kebun Raya Botanical Gardens near Candikuning in Northern Bali are a must visit. The gardens boast a variety of trees, ferns, orchids, plants and flowers from around the world.
