Going to Pura, to celebrate the full moon ceremony.

One of bali art performance is its traditional dance performance accompanied by traditional gamelan orchestra. The tradition still remains, passed down by experts to often very young people.

There is no art happening when visiting this art center. However this is the place for bali art festival. The next Bali Art festival 2008 will be held from June 14 until July 12, 2008. The most interesting in Bali Art Festival is the opening ceremony. It always involved more than 300 artist to parade and perform on the street Those artists will be marching down from Bali People Struggle Monument at Renon Square to Bali Art Center Werdhi Budaya at Jalan Nusa Indah Denpasar.

Oh I wish I can see this opening ceremony and take more picture of bali art performance.

Penglipuran villages is a peacefull & lovely place in southeastern part of Bali. The place is very neat and clean. I think the most interesting about penglipuran is the layout of the villages and the house structure rules in a way how they keep the Bali traditional architecture. The village is very quite, not much activity found when I was there.

All the gate, pura, traditional house bring all this picture to my ghotic imaginary. Please enjoy the penglipuran in ghotic style.
