“ It’s all about rice you know. A constant cycle of planting, harvesting and maintaining the fields to secure a steady supply of food for every village “. This is what’s shaped the whole island according to Made Darmo, who is caught in the beautiful light of morning harnessing the power of his cows to turn another muddy mess into a field of dreams, and dreams it is without the blessing of Dewi, the rice goddess. It all looks idyllic but when you’re up to your knees in sticky mud, suddenly you appreciate the backbreaking work of people like Made Darmo.Throughout Bali, the many temples, palaces and village are set in landscape that gives harmony and compliments their usage. From dramatic temples on cliff tops, offering beautiful sunset views to the vast stepped rice terraces with quite villages and farmers herding ducks, there are wonderful sights to behold wherever you travel in Bali.
For city dwellers it isn’t hard to be impressed when you set off to explore Bali, all you need to do is walk down to the beach in the morning and you are guaranteed a fabulous view, whether you are in Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Sanur or Lovina, the sea views are marvelous.
But as you venture into the interior which is dominated by immense, extinct volcanoes, you discover that ‘dramatic’ is an inadequate word to describe the subject!
The terraced rice fields are a testimony to generations of farmers carefully building and creating the landscape. The steep ravines which follow the rivers down
from the mountains are lush and cool. The village streets are in carved stone, with temples around every corner and in everyone’s house compound.This is a photographer’s paradise, from the stark beauty of west Bali’ mountains, to the eternal majesty of Uluwatu’s stunning cliffs. So don’t just roar though the countryside to reach your goal: stop and enjoy everyviews.
