Using my flash, some of the rock features were visible Posted by Picasa


The temple during sunset. We couldnt climb up to the temple, and were told that it is only open for worshippers and not tourists (?). Anyway, just behind the temple is the sun going down into the sea.  Posted by Picasa


The temple at Tanah Lot - one of the priary tourist attractions in Bali. The sunset is great to see here. And as is quite eveident in this pic, unless you have a ultra advanced camera with an even more advanced fliter, photographs are best taken before sunset Posted by Picasa
