Sticking With Plates Photo

Photographer’s Note

Balinese named this pavillion with only have a layer of roof top as 'Pelinggih'. You can find around ten of pelinggih in this Puri Pemecutan's royal temple. All of the pelinggih at this royal temple is sticking with old plates import from China and Netherlands.

The temples of Balinese are unique, it is differernt with church or mosque, they never need a big building for praying, they only need places for worshiping, they worship multi gods and spirit of ancestors.

The Balinese temple is compose by a group of pelinggih and Meru, and surrounding by wall. ( showing in WS 1)

Each pelinggih and Meru is only for worship a selected God, and some of the pelinggih is empty, it is reserved for Gods too.

They believe Gods and spirits are every where on thier land, so that they often having ceremonies for worship and welcoming their Gods.

* * Finally completely to show variety architectures at Pemecutan Palace, next post should be a new location.

Dear Ally

Balinese temples and architecture are really great. I like them a lot. You have really well mastered the difficult light situation as a major part of is in the shadow and you had the sunlight from the left. Despite the odds you produced vivid colors and great sharpness. Well done

Best regards
Urs

Hi Ally. I like your composition very much where the exotic bushes are also important. They catch the light nicely and add softness to the stone.I admire the Balinese mastery in stone carving. Wonderful light here Ally. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Ally,
this is an excellent set of photos each of which deserves to be a separate post, not just an additional WS photo! I especially like "Photo 2" ("walking around the Pemecutan Palace") - excellent capture of this perspective!
Very interesting example of architecture indeed!I'd love to see this with my own eyes one day...
Technically, this photo (and the others, too) are very good shots :) It's nice to see these photos taken on a sunny day: sunshine makes the colours of this unique complex brighter and shows the temple at its best :)
best wishes!
Elena

Again another three image presentation. Any one could be a main post. On this one you have used the steps well asn they lead the eye upwards to the roof. There is good depth by the inclusion of the plant on the left. Well done

Hi Ally,

The busshes and the plants are framing well the pavillion. Using a vertical frame is making the pavillion to stand out. The point of view is showing with precision the details and colors of the Pelinggih. Have a nice day.

Hello Ally,
A photograph always also intriguing for my eyes of French. These temples and the significance of the representation are often a enigma, with my rational way of thinking. But I appreciate the artistic, spiritual, cultural aspect of it. A beautiful image of a religious work of art. Congratulations.
