Balinese dancing is so nice to watch, the movements are so graceful.
Balinese dance and drama is so exotic. Much have been interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing it.
Bon weekend, Leif!
This is something I'd like to hear and see. I know about it from Eki's Bandung Daily Photo.
Saw Kechak dance while in Bali last November. It was wonderful! Your post brought back great memories of a great visit to Bali.
That group was great and the dancer was wonderful! Reminded me also of my trip to Bali several years ago!
The photo was a challenge as they performed under a dark tent and because of the heat and humidity that day, my lens kept fogging up!
I'll bet this was fun. Love outdoor summer activities!!!
This is a great photo, Leif! So many intresting instruments there. And the dancer looks really exotic :D
sure seems like fun!
looks like fun, esp. near a woods, Leif.
Nothing like art and nature.
Like everyone, I think this would be fun to see.
Guess they had a very very, VERY warm welcome!
Would have been a wonderful distraction from the heat Leif. Like your comment about the humidity and your lens! Glad to be enjoying a mild winter in Perth.
I've never even heard of that type of dance, maybe I need to get out more!
Estupenda la foto que nos has dejado. Como siempre un placer haberme pasado por tu espacio.
Saludos y un abrazo.
Traditionally Indonesians would be pretty happy about hot weather. Those orchestras have a unique brand of music and accompany ancient epic stories etc. Julia newcastle nsw. How the comments work these days escapes me.
I love the Indonesian influence. The San Franciso Asian Art Museum now has a fabulous exhibit on Bali. I hope you're going to the show today and then share with us! Suzanne at WS
I haven't visited Indonesia but everything about this country is so appealing to me, there is so much diversity.
