A Pensive Moment

Taken in Tenganan Village in Bali as well during our visit in February… Dad’s version is here. It was not easy to capture the child’s expression with the flurry of activity around.

Taken at Tenganan Village in Bali, this is a wider-angle version of a similar shot by Dad. I have done some post-processing with the colours to emphasize the smoky mood of the scene.

This was taken at a market in Ubud, Bali. Interestingly, Balinese women are experts at carrying burden on their heads literally, which is similar to what many African women do. People have speculated on how this culture may have developed. Previous theories have suggested that head-carrying may be beneficial to human posture. Recent research suggests however that the behaviour might cause undue stress and pain on the neck.
