this is where the real 'wild things' are...

Sunday 21st March 2010

the night before Nyepi, Bali's day of silence, which took place on Tuesday 16th March...the real 'wild things' came out to play. called ogoh-ogoh, they are huge statues created in every village across Bali and paraded through the streets to scare away the evil spirits. a fearsome sight indeed!

That is just so amazing. Rituals seem so ancient to my western culture upbringing. It's like a fantasy that that actually happens. Beautiful actually..... Thank you for sharing this! I love it!
