This year when I visit Bali, I was just lucky that it's on Melasti Day, which is the days before Quite Day for Balinese Hindu people. On Melasti Day Balinese people purify themselves through a series of prayers. On this picture I captured the people of Kuta, Bali praying together on Kuta Beach.

Ogoh-Ogoh
Ogoh-Ogoh is a representation of devil (bhutakala) in Balinese Hindu tradition. It's symbolized by statue of bad creatures which made of bamboo. A day before Nyepi Festival, Balinese people will come to bring together all Ogoh-Ogoh and burn them, meaning that all the devil desires burned with the Ogoh-Ogoh.
Telephone Box
Have you seen something like this at your country? I took this shoot at Sukowati Market, Bali. Too creative and efficient, anything can be used as display holder for paintings. I'm afraid somebody maybe wrongly see the telephone box as a painting too.
