Beach Bali-ball

This is becoming rarer and rarer — a moment in one’s travels when an unspoiled, non-commercialized spectacle of local life is stumbled across. I call it a “National Geographic” moment. It’s something simple and at the same time breathtaking, a product of everyday human life in a culturally relevant package. But it’s not for sale. You just have to be at the right place at the right time.

That would be Sunday evening on Seminyak beach in Bali, Indonesia. With the sun setting, the tide going out and the FIFA World Cup on the horizon, a band of barefoot boys who have probably spent their whole life on the beach play soccer in the surf.

    Beautiful pictures. Those are the ones who enjoy nature to the highest extent, not by admiring the sunset and the beach with pictures and paintings, but simply by being part of it.

    haha now feel bad taking the pictures? :p
