Cak Peliatan is a simple and yet beautiful choreography , not like common Cak dance the troupe is not performing along with Rama and Sita epic dance instead it gives more intention in the battle of two monkey brother Sugriwa and Subali, many of the color photo shots has green flares on it so i turn them to black and white to disguise the flares. Most of the photos was shot with high ISO (1600) , i try to use the speed light but i don’t like the out come, it is less dramatic compare to natural torch lights, so here is some of the photos

Traffic, Parking and Sunset
if you passing by Legian street you will notice that the street is more less traffic may be because there are no vehicles park on both road side, whoah this is good, now you can reach Kuta beach little bit faster, i kinda like this situation but wait until you get in front of Hard Rock hotel, there you go traffic ! especially on Saturday and Monday afternoon just before sunset, from my experience either you come early or you park in the middle or halfway Kuta beach. But there are more than one place in south Bali that you can enjoy sunset, i would say that Dreamland beach is one of my favorite.
Above photo is Dreamland beach before sunset
US travel warning no more
After almost 8 years US finally lift their travel warning on Indonesia as by U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia On Sunday. May 25, 2008 , but would it make more US citizen go to Bali and visit this thousand shrines island? we’re here in Bali hope so, especially after economy is down by two terrorist attacks in this area more tourists could mean more chances to do abd i hope there will be more jobs available in hospitality industry.
