         		 A local fisherman and traditional Balinese fishing boat Junkung make great silhouettes against a spectacular sunset at Lovina beach.: by finchyloo, Views[861]
         		 Fishermen preparing nets to catch fish.: by sayoga, Views[310]
         		 After weeks at sea they finally returned to the land.: by sayoga, Views[249]
         		 The situation in the fish market is very crowded, many people come to get fresh fish.: by sayoga, Views[276]
     
    Fishermen bring their catches to be sold at market: by sayoga, Views[276]

         		 We arrive, we pass through, and eventually we must leave. But all processes are marked with a familiarity that differs so markedly from my experiences growing up in Jakarta. Of course there are both pros and cons to constantly living with such intimacy, but since it is not entirely my world (which is an urban one filled with strangers), I tend to remember positive memories such as this: a man on his motorcyle, head turned to the side, greeting all those he encounters in passing.: by nataliarg, Views[212]
         		 Similarly, not all encounters on the street involve vehicles with four wheels. Here children from my village are on their way to school as the sun is rising behind them. I am also on my bike, on my way home from a morning ride. Although cars and motorcycles are increasingly penetrating village life, bikes still play an important role in at least children's every day activities.: by nataliarg, Views[251]
         		 Not all exchanges are confined to the home, and they are not always planned. Since the villages are so small we often see people we know in the surrounding streets. In this photo, a fellow villager cheerfully inspects the contents of our car. My cousin, driving us, can be seen in the side mirror.: by nataliarg, Views[218]
     
    When we arrive in our village, for the duration of our stay, our days are filled with exchanges and greetings. In this photo we are walking back to our place from my great-aunt's house, who is on the left. On the right my aunt holds an empty plate wrapped in cloth. It would have been filled with food - anything from fruits or cakes, to rice or curries. As is the custom, we brought it to my great-aunt's house as a gift to her.: by nataliarg, Views[228]
         		 The first day in West Sumatra is always filled with anticipation - we have to travel three hours to get to our hilly inland village from the coastal city of Padang. The food is one thing we all anticipate with excitement: the fresh produce, the wonderful cooked meals by our various aunts. Indeed food is a big part of being West Sumatran. Here, as the sun begins to set, my mother eagerly purchases a bunch of ripe, sweet bananas from a street seller. Time to tuck in!: by nataliarg, Views[234]

         		 Bali has a devastating litter problem. Plastic bags were introduced within the last 25 years, and proper disposal is a heavy issue. This bridge over a small gully was filled with trash and burned, sending a 40-foot plume of smoke and flame into the night sky for two days. : by fups, Views[395]
     
    The local laundromat is a great place to meet and gossip. My friends here depend entirely on the neighborhood's laundry for their livelihood, and have a difficult time in the rainy season, when line-drying slows to a halt and tourism dries up. : by fups, Views[326]
         		 Performers rest after their modern dance piece at the 2007 Festival Kesenian Indonesia (Indonesian Arts Festival). This performance involved the sea, driftwood, and over 50 painted performers; it is indicative of the changing face of the Arts in Indonesia, and is highly influenced by Western performance art. : by fups, Views[1101]
         		 Tourism within Indonesia is a relatively new phenomenon. Here, at the Bali Culture Park, tourists visit from elsewhere in Indonesia. Most signs are in Bahasa Indonesia, and the experience is geared toward Indonesian nationals. : by fups, Views[377]
         		 Bali's younger generation depends greatly upon the income provided by tourists. The draw of Balinese arts and culture is undeniable, yet fragile. An example of this is the complex rite of marriage, which can take an entire day, and can cost the couple the equivalent of 5-months' wages.: by fups, Views[332]

         		 Kecak dance. Taken from the Hindu epic Ramayana, the dance tells a story of a prince and his rescue of a princess from a evil King: by finchyloo, Views[469]
