| Coastal areas. Salt panning in the North where the climate is very dry. Surfing in the south near Kuta and Uluwatu. Spectacular volcanic mountain views. |
 Salt panning is an important source of income on the North coast. Sea water is several times dried and filtered until the pure white sea-salts remain in the half-cut coconut stems. |
Uluwatu in the uttermost south of Bali with a fantastic surf. A place of worship for Hindu's and surf lovers.

The Lahar (hot mud-stream) with a very hard Padas layer. Almost nothing will grow here. In the background the source of this disaster: Gunung Agung. |
Never seen a Nangka tree (Jackfruit) so rich on fruits. The tree grows on the lahar seen on the left picture in a manmade hole splitting the hard layer deep until the roots can reach the original soil from before the Gunung Agung eruption in 1963. Besides: The most hard padas layers are mined for the Hindu statues. (Patung Batu Padas, or padas stone statues) |
