This was our last day in Ubud before leaving on a two-day
trip to the north coast of Bali. We did a lot of shopping
in the mornnig, going down to Ubud market, buying Balinese
umbrellas and lots of gifts for friends back home.

In the
late afternoon, around 5:30, we drove out to the village
of Petelu, where there is a white heron sanctuary, and
where the herons come home to roost at the end of each day.
You'll have to click on these images to see the birds -
they are kind of small on the thumbnails.

It's a small, rather scruffy village, but the birds
are beautiful, wheeling in and landing on the treetops,
until there seemed to be hundreds filling every branch.
It's quite a remarkable sight.

But it was beginning to get late, and
we had heard about a special performance in
Pengosekan that night...
