While in Bali we visited Pura Melanting just outside Pemuteran which dates back to the 15th Century (Pura is the Balinese word for Hindu Temple). I captured several photos that evening – this image caught my attention when reviewing image from that trip.
This is a Bedogol – gate guardian statue and you’ll see many of these in the temple across the island of Bali. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns make for an incredibly visual experience.
At first I wasn’t sure I liked that you can see the doorway at far right. But the more I look I believe it adds another interesting element to this image – what do you think?
