Ubud and area I

These photos were taken on the day stated but posted much later... eventually I'll be caught up but probably not yet as getting sufficient upload speeds to post photos requires a trip into town and I'm not that interested in bringing my computer everywhere on the off chance I'll get some wifi. Anyway, the first photo is from a road winding through a steep valley of jungle near Ubud and is the pedestrian access for a house. I'm guessing that it's a house as there are no signs advertising anything. Regardless it's the sort of thing you'd love to approach knowing it's yours.

Rice fields on the way home from Ubud, so maybe not Ubud area at all, I don't know. Supposedly a few years ago you would be able to drink the water from the rice terraces but those days are past. The effect of the development here is stark, the coral is dead in places from dynamite fishing and covered in other places with alge due to fertilizer runoff from golf courses among other things.
