Palatial Sights






Part of our Ubud tour included the local prince's palace, with gorgeous grounds and typical Balinese architectural touches done in elegant style.  The grounds are open to the public to enjoy and have a zen garden feel to them.


I just love the intricate detail in this gate.

Locals visit on the steps of the temple to pass the time.

Dressing gods in black and white checks is common here.

I think this is one of the buildings on the palace grounds.

Balinese style often incorporates use of gazebos. 

Now this is a front door with style!
George joked it used to be on the Platinum Suite.

This vase would look great in our foyer.  Luckily I didn't even remotely consider it.  Right after we returned, a Perth woman was jailed in Bali for stealing a bar mat!

A bit ornate for every day but certainly a pleasure to look upon.
