  I thought this was rather annoying at the time of the picture because it was making the traffic move slowly and it was hot, but now looking back I think it’s rather funny and fair to allow everbody on the road with their own unique form of transportation.

  I simply must applaud the genius of creating a scarecrow with a volleyball as a head.

  These were everywhere on the isle of  Gili Trawangen, it is very simple there.  This type of structure I’m sure comes with living in a place that is vulnerable to angry weather.

  I like that Indonesia it is emphasized to protect the animals that are part of the same world as us.  It is possibly an aspect of their culture that is influenced by the religion practiced there.

  I would argue that anything that is completely out of the ordinary for someone is probably a representation of an altogether different culture.  You could go thirty miles and see a completely different society or you could go to Indoneisa and have a monkey pinch your nose, hard…either way it’s experiencing a new culture.

  Indonesia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.  There’s a very unique religion practiced there, Dharma Hinduism which is, very basically, a mix of Hinduism and Buddhism with other beliefs in there as well.  Essentially the belief is that of natural justice and harmony.

  I put this picture up because for me it reminds me of how much respect the animal trackers had for this dangerous creatures.  With those horns and weighing several hundred pounds you can see why these beasts are kept clear of.

  These girls were part of a group that did a performance at a safari camp, it was beautiful to watch the girls having fun displaying typical zulu dance.  Very lively.

  This picture is in Pretoria, South Africa and leopards are always a treat to see because they normally sleep in the trees during the day.  This one however was a recent mother and had to find food for her cubs.  It’s amazing that there are still so many people that live to see creatures and [...]

  Just another picture of a religious sculputre.  This is Ganesh a relatively famous God in Hinduism.  Religions, although not so much today, tend to shape the culture of a society.

  I love this buddha head in Ayutthaya, it makes me hopeful for the meshing of humans and nature, like a harmonious sign.

  I found this estate to be quite astonishing, particularly the progression of architecture as the palace was passed down through emperors.  Most beauitful of all was the private lake (seen here) that had imperial boats ready to take the emperor to his buildings in the middle of the lake.

  These patties I saw lined along the Himalayas were an amazing feat, I think.  This may not be a display of clothes, foods, and art, but it is a depiction of how life is dictated by their environment.

  There are thousands of temples in Thailand ranging from small to big to urban to rural, each is unique outside and in.  They’re quite beautiful and unique.

  I would interpret this as being harmony between nature and man and nature’s nurturing and omnipresent abilities.
