<p> The next morning I woke up and took a photo of the view from the back of my room
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000601
</PHOTO>
which looked better with the flash off
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000602
</PHOTO>
and then I recorded my front door
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000603
</PHOTO>
and walked past the elephant structure with its daily offering
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000604
</PHOTO>
as I passed the monkeys
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000605
</PHOTO>
and made my way
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000606
</PHOTO>
past the orchid
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000607
</PHOTO>
to the reception area
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000608
</PHOTO>
where I met Agung Rai who was going to take me on a morning tour
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000609
</PHOTO>
and so he recorded me
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000610
</PHOTO>
and pointed out the rice fields to me
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000611
</PHOTO>
before we drove off to one of the neighboring villages where a girl was going to school.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000612
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000613
</PHOTO>
as the road lay ahead with views
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000614
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000615
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000616
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000617
</PHOTO>
and these structures
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000618
</PHOTO>
as we headed off
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000619
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000620
</PHOTO>
with jungle-like growth by the side
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000621
</PHOTO>
and a stream below
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000622
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000623
</PHOTO>
along with rice fields
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000624
</PHOTO>
and many views
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000625
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000626
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000627
</PHOTO>
before we arrived at a temple for the community
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000628
</PHOTO>
and noticed these two girls walking off to school
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000629
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000630
</PHOTO>
with reflections in the rice field
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000631
</PHOTO>
as more children headed off to the school
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000632
</PHOTO>
and we saw a rice field that was in the process of having seeds germinate
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000633
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000634
</PHOTO>
with school children approaching
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000635
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000636
</PHOTO>
and the reflection being impressive
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000637
</PHOTO>
and so the kids
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000638
</PHOTO>
and the rice field
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000639
</PHOTO>
where I posed in front of the reflection
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000640
</PHOTO>
led me to pose with the school children
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000641
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000642
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000643
</PHOTO>
and then alone
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000644
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000645
</PHOTO>
and even in the rear view mirror
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000646
</PHOTO>
as we saw the ducks in the water who are part of the rice process (think fertilizer)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000647
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000648
</PHOTO>
and there were still more reflections
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000649
</PHOTO>
with a local house
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000650
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000651
</PHOTO>
and reflection
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000652
</PHOTO>
and a man working on his rice by hand (as they do it here)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000653
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000654
</PHOTO>
and then we were at the school
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000655
</PHOTO>
with this symbolism
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000656
</PHOTO>
and these grounds
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000657
</PHOTO>
not to mention the rules.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000658
</PHOTO>
The children were cleaning the school yard
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000659
</PHOTO>
as I admired decorations
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000660
</PHOTO>
and language instruction
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000661
</PHOTO>
and the omnipresent Mickey and Minnie
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000662
</PHOTO>
as I peeked into the classroom
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000663
</PHOTO>
and noticed the blackboard
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000664
</PHOTO>
as these friends were getting ready for the day
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000665
</PHOTO>
as were these
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000666
</PHOTO>
even as the cleaning continued
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000667
</PHOTO>
with a student who was still waking up
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000668
</PHOTO>
as the scenes at the school
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000669
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000670
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000671
</PHOTO>
and the rice field opposite gave a good representation of life in the villages near Ubud
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000672
</PHOTO>
while the girls cleaned
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000673
</PHOTO>
and the man planted his rice seeds
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000674
</PHOTO>
and Agung watched the scene that was very familiar to him
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000675
</PHOTO>
even as the two girls carried out the brush they had gathered
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000676
</PHOTO>
and more cleaning happened
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000677
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000678
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000679
</PHOTO>
to the school grounds
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000680
</PHOTO>
as more kids arrived
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000681
</PHOTO>
and the photography continued
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000682
</PHOTO>
when a mother and her 3 kids arrived
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000683
</PHOTO>
and she posed with Agung 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000684
</PHOTO>
even as children walked across a path in the rice fields to school
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000685
</PHOTO>
even as the workers tended their areas
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000686
</PHOTO>
so that this was what the children would see as they approached the school
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000687
</PHOTO>
and I noted the hallways
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000688
</PHOTO>
as more children approached
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000689
</PHOTO>
more work went on in the fields
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000690
</PHOTO>
and this was the planting at the school
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000691
</PHOTO>
before I re-entered the school yard
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000692
</PHOTO>
and spent time with the children
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000693
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000694
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000695
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000696
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000697
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000698
</PHOTO>
and then went to watch the brush be put into the drain
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000699
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000700
</PHOTO>
before a final return to the school.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000701
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000702
</PHOTO>
Next we went to the local temple
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000703
</PHOTO>
which was by the rice fields
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000704
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000705
</PHOTO>
and consisted of many inner structures
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000706
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000707
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000708
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000709
</PHOTO>
with offerings 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000710
</PHOTO>
some of which were carefully constructed
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000711
</PHOTO>
as I went up the stairs to enter one 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000712
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000713
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000714
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000715
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000716
</PHOTO>
and see the offerings
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000717
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000718
</PHOTO>
after which I toured the other chambers
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000719
</PHOTO>
including myriad offerings
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000720
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000721
</PHOTO>
after which I posed
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000722
</PHOTO>
and saw some goddesses
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000723
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000724
</PHOTO>
and handed my camera to Agung who took photos of me before we prepared to leave the temple
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000725
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000726

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000731
</PHOTO>
pausing to look out on the rice fields which benefit (or so the locals believe) from the presence of the temple
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000732
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000733

</PHOTO>
with its detailed mask
<PHOTO>

we drove on past a man in his rice field

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000756

and another

in their broader setting

before we said farewell to the mother and child
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000778
</PHOTO>
and drove on to a place where the village women were taking their offerings to the temple.

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000781
</PHOTO>
We drove past scenery
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000782
</PHOTO>
and architecture
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000783
</PHOTO>
and came across a rice field ready for harvesting
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000784
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000785
</PHOTO>
and so I posed 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000786
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000787
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000788
</PHOTO>
and we observed the morning dew on the leaves.  Somehow, we were trespassing a bit here as there was a conversation in Indonesian that seemed to result in using paying a few bills for the privilege of taking the photos.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000789
</PHOTO>
We went on down the road
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000790
</PHOTO>
where I admired this woman walking with her wares on her head
<PHOTO>

and taking them
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000803
</PHOTO>
to his house
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000804

and then this woman carrying her things on her head.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000805
</PHOTO>
Our next stop was at this banyan tree which was a gathering place for the village
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000806
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000807

and I captured a rooster of which there were many joining the dogs as guardians of the houses
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000810
</PHOTO>
not to mention many interesting structures

including these protectors of the house

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000830
</PHOTO>
before returning to the banyan tree which, like the village, was a community of smaller parts
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000831
</PHOTO>
including the cock on the roof.
<PHOTO>

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000833
</PHOTO>
Moving on, things were carried on heads
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000834
</PHOTO>
as this man worked in his yard
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000835

and while traveling along

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000837

I took this picture of my sarong and my shoes
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000838
</PHOTO>
as we approached a rice field ready for harvest

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000840

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000842
</PHOTO>
We also came to the village laundromat
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000843
</PHOTO>
and after this view
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000844
</PHOTO>
we passed some children drawing at their home
<PHOTO>

by this waterfall
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000851
</PHOTO>
and at the top of the steps was this rice field
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000852
</PHOTO>
with this view going down
<PHOTO>

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000854
</PHOTO>
where I sat for photos
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000855
</PHOTO>
and then walked
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000856
</PHOTO>
to more photos

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000857

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000861

to see this fruit hanging in a tree

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000863

with these bags protecting the low hanging fruit from animals
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000864

and saw these coffee beans

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000865
</PHOTO>
as we looked out at a view
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000866
</PHOTO>
and then drove past these structures
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000867
</PHOTO>
were this cock was being prepared for a fight.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000868
</PHOTO>
We continued on

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000870
</PHOTO>
and came to this house where the matriarch had prepared breakfast but before it could be served, she needed to leave out food (in many directions) for the animals to eat keeping them in harmony with nature.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000871
</PHOTO>
Ahead were ducks on the road
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000872
</PHOTO>
as food was placed for the lower animals (insect) to share in the family breakfast
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000873
</PHOTO>
even as a neighbor approached
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000874
</PHOTO>
and we drove past this structure
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000875
</PHOTO>
and then stopped to see pineapples growing
<PHOTO>

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000878
</PHOTO>
as we stopped in a tiny village on a narrow street and I walked off 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000879
</PHOTO>
to explore
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000880
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000881

</PHOTO>
and see the fruit hanging
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000883

and then I sat on the front stoop of a house which caused the dog to bark in protest
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000884
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000885
</PHOTO>
and then we observed the ducks on the pond
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000886
</PHOTO>
as life in the village continued
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000887
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000888

and after a last look at rice fields
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000894

we stopped at the Ubud Palace
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000895
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000896

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000903
</PHOTO>
<p> Back in town, structures were being created for the cremation that was about to happen
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000904
</PHOTO>
including this multi-tiered one

and the bamboo that would be used to carry the structures

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000912
</PHOTO>
which were being completed
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000913

and this one.  The structures were representative of the caste of the person who was being cremated.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000914
</PHOTO>
Back at the hotel, I posed with Agung 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000915
</PHOTO>
and then headed to breakfast where this was the menu

</PHOTO>
and my fruit

topped off by watermelon juice.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000922
</PHOTO>
Once home, I went through the arch to my room for a rest.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000923
</PHOTO>
<p> Soon it was time to return to town to see the cremation but began by noticing that they have Kumon here as well
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000924

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000927

with the second structure being pulled by a large number of men all of whom fit into the bamboo structure created for that purpose.  Each cremated person was in their animal and each also had an additional structure like the tower.  Together, these defined the caste and life of the person.

The carrying was lowered

and then restarted

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000948
</PHOTO>
and so on they went
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000949
</PHOTO>
with the crowd following
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000950
</PHOTO>
including banners

as the people carrying the structure occasionally went in circles (so to cause the evil spirits to lose sight of the cremation)

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000955

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000961

../../../Sabbat/2012/10.23-11.02.12SingaporeAndBali//P1000964

as the tower that needed a higher utility line came out.  These structure used to be even higher (often up to 30 meters) before electric lines made it impossible to go to these heights.

I noted what was left in one burnt structure

accompanied by nuts and eventually followed by a second.
