I wanted to express some of the deep feelings I had on a visit to Bali. It was a very special experience - time out of time. Olga and I weren't expecting to go there, and we made a 'spur of the moment' booking.

I found the whole environment really beautiful, and there was an amazing spirituality that was central to everything on the island. That's why the black and white chequered design is deliberately right in the centre of the picture. You see it everywhere on Bali. It adorns all the statues around the island and the people wear it. |
There is a wonderful combination of this spirituality, abundance of nature, magnificent carvings, beaches and warm sea - a natural high. It is said of Bali that there are 'more smiles per mile' than anywhere else in the world. |
