Selamat Hari Raya Nyepi Tahun Baru Caka 1931

Thanks charlie, u2 have a happy nyepi.
It's raining in the north, so it looks all pretty grim from the Bale looking down out Singaraja...quiet, raining, grey sky's. But in 4 weeks time, raining season should be over :)
Take care, friendly greetings.......Gilbert.

Many expats go away for Nyepi and those that don't, maybe are observing it so not going online.

i know ... but there was a full raging conversation on one of the other threads yesterday, and there was definitely activity in this forum yet no-one even remembered it was Nyepi by the looks of it ...

this forum used to close down on Nyepi out of respect ...

When you are here, you don't forget about Nyepi.

I always expect you won't see anyone all day - but not true, many of the locals treat is more like any holiday. This photo was at sunrise yesterday, and shows locals and boats.

There were people around all day with quite a buildup near sunset. Then the evening was dark with almost all external lights off. So it was a great evening for viewing stars, no moon, no lights, a clear sky except in the far north where there were thunderstorms.

now you're just making me flat out jealous Ron :D

[Bert Vierstra]

Same here Ron.

Toko's are open, people on the beach and in the streets. (Not on Jalan Raya) ...

A bit strange to close the forum actually....
