A Balinese Woman by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Ubud is home to amazing restaurants, cafes, and streets lined with shops. There many sell goods from the region’s artisans. The unique atmosphere of Bali you can find here in a pill. But the most breathtaking thing about Bali are Rice Field Terraces, astonishing with vast green and endless shelfs expanding until horizon. In Ubud you can find the essence of Bali. Also people you meet there are very characteristic for this area. It is a paradise for photographers. Portraying people is easy and pleasant, because locals pose for photos with pleasure.
