Bali

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Indonesia | Sunday, October 17, 2010 | 5 photos

I'm quite young but I've been lucky enough to travel a lot and lived amazing experiences. I lived many years in Africa and from a few years I'm back in Italy. This year I felt the need to visit a different place from everything I've ever seen and I chosed Asia, where I spent sometime in Indonesia e felt in love with Bali. I was impressed by how everything in that island blends perfectly. Culture and religion blend with nature in a way that it is hard to describe with words, all temples are completely immersed in nature and cope with it, nature and animals are themselves part of the structures of the temples. And I was impressed by how tourism blends with the normal life of the balinese people. This population has been boozed by the mass tourism, but everywhere you can see happy people, laughing all the times, still not overwhelmed by the crowd that fill their small cities. It is not difficult to see a man fishing in the sea, just near the beach of a five star resort. And when is sunset you'll find all the balinese people at the beach having fun playing bare feet on the sand.
