Pura Tanah Lot

            Tanah Lot, according to Google is "Land in the Sea' or ‘the small island floating on the sea’. For the Balinese, Pura Tanah Lot is one of the most important and venerated sea temples. This temple is the most visited and photographed temple in Bali.  It’s an obligatory stop, especially at sunset.

It was low tide during the time we visited and you can walk towards it and roam around. During high tide, they say that you need a boat in order to go to the temple. It was Friday and there are lots of people going to the temple to worship continuously up to 10pm they say.

We search for a place where we can position the camera to avoid obstruction and to have a better view of the temple. We found a small lagoon between two huge rocks and use it as the foreground. We use a 90secs exposure to blur the people going into and on the temple. The sun is about to set on the right side of this photo giving it a yellowish tint and on the right a bluish one signaling the end of another day.
