North Bali basically perserves the oldest villages of Bali which is in the present time still being preserved and acknowledged as the older tradition and keep with them the history of Bali until the new society of Bali become mixed together, especially around Desa Banjar are many older villages of Bali, which is believed to have been earlier to settle Bali compared to other lowland residents.

Those villages such as Sidatapa, Tigawasa, and Pedawa village. It is not considered old is Tamblingan village, although the fact that this village is already recorded in a king charter dated 11th century. It is probably the location of Tamblingan is on the trade route between south and North Bali, so this village has been developing faster compared to those, so their oldness is not visible, or simply forgotten.

Beside as the first area that announce physical battle against the Dutch North Bali also has unique places interesting to the travelers. Banjar Town is one of the most important for history of North Bali from pre-history up to the era where Indonesian struggle for Independence. This administrative area of Kabupaten Buleleng has some places of interest that have been well known by the visitors to Bali.

Tigawasa village itself is a field research for Archaeology, due to the finding of ancient remains of human activities from stone and metal ages. Many excavations have been organized by the department of Archaeology of Udayana University which throw light on the distribution of people in Bali starting metal age and continues until the arrival of Hindu tradition.

Hello Ally! Interesting place, very fine flags, superb car (bike?), wonderful scene, good point of view and capture. Nice natural colours. Original frame. Well done!

smarcell (19875) 2010-05-17 0:18

I think it is a little bit confusing. Too many things in the frame. The colourful flags, the buildings. and the vehicle is barely visible among all these things.
The sight wanders around before finding a place to look at.

Hi Ally,

The flags are framing well the road. The cyclist is taking my eyes toward the houses in the background which is giving depth and perspective to the composition. The afternoon light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Ally,
This Indonesian town is very well decorated and looks nice due to its traditional architecture and lush tropical vegetation around. The bicyclist at the center of the picture shows that the economic activity is under way there even on holidays. Excellent architectural and daily-life photo!
Best regards,

Hi Aly,
the flags are really eye catching here. the view of the place is very interesting and very busy place I would think.
Never been there and I think it is quite interesting to look at a different angle of a place.
A good view too- especially the distance buildings.

regards,
foozi

adramad (27548) 2010-05-24 12:55

Ally Theanlyn
I liked you visiting to my gallery and notice it only at late hours. I go one to tired and yesterday seeing my defeated state have opened the game mahjong and let it at the middle. Today I ended it and played for a while chess with the computer and at the beggining my queen was eaten. Anyway it was the first time I played chess with my computer rival. The second hollday term have begun. I will give you futher details at the right time in appropriate private message. The photo set is another amzing view of a rural village in festive preparations. I think to be entering into the village by one of the sides. A rich rural country as I ever see it. Such a place visted by a trekearth member. My kindest regards wishing a good week-end. Your friend.
