Among the spiritual icons in Bali are some of the most beautiful and intersting temples I've ever seen. Granted, I haven't seen that many ancient temples in my travels, but I've seen a lot of pictures, and these are pretty cool! This one temple was on the top of a cliff at least a thousand feet up or so. You were required to put on a Sorong in order to access the temple grounds, as a sign of tradition and respect. The temple and grounds were sprawled out over an area about half a mile wide, and was inhabitted by monkeys. In order to take photos, I had to hire a guide with a stick to keep the moneys from stealing my sunglasses, hat or camera.
This one angle of the temple at sunset sums up the exotic feeling of this special place.
