Theme Day: Path and Passage

Hey, what do you think about this passage way? Cool right? So exotic...You can find it at Monkey Florest that is located at Ubud Region, Bali. It was a very small passage way where you can see a small river with some small waterfalls flow beside it. I really enjoyed the times sitting on the passage listening to the sounds of water fall and flows.

It really brought the freshness of the natural into my soul. But as the name is Monkey Florest, this area is full of monkeys almost everywhere. But at this particular spot you can feel a bit free from the monkeys. Just, becarefull and try not to bring any food in your bag than you can really enjoy the freshness here whithout any disturbance from the monkeys.

Monkey Cemetery

This is again a picture from Monkey Forest, Bali. I think I like the forest a lot. As I ever wrote before at my previous posting that this forest become the habitat of grey monkeys. The forest is like home for the monkeys. Every monkeys in the forest has a name. When they die, there's also a cemetery there to bury them and their name is written on a monument, just like how human being is buried. That's monkey cemetery. The different with human cemetery is that when people are in a cemetery they tend to look sad and unhappy. But those monkey playing around their friend or even parent's cemetery happyly. I wonder if there's another monkey cemetery somewhere else out there.

Lion and Monkey

When I visited Monkey Forest at Ubud, Bali, a very beautiful forest with lots of monkeys inside, I sawBalinese Hindu temple which surrounded by many statues. Most of the statues were duplicating kinds of animals. Then on one of the statue I found something cute, a small monkey. This monkey in the picture understood that I was going to take picture of the statue, lion's statue! He sat there nicely while looking at me, waiting for the click of my camera. A curious thinking then came into my mind, if it were not a statue, but a real lion, did the monkey have any guts to sit on top of it? Hehe..

Sharing

It's so fun to see how monkeys family sharing food and playing together in Monkey Forest, Ubud - Bali. But be careful. Most of the monkeys there are quite naughty. They can find out if you have foods in your purse or bag. Even if you do not bring any food with you they can blackmailing you by robbing your accessories so that you finally have to buy bananas to be exchanged with them.
Despite of the naughty monkeys, those monkeys in Monkey Forest are funny and interesting to see. The forest they inhabited is very beautiful, with a river flows through it.
