The trawlers in Benoa Harbour, Bali, are moored together in clumps of colours and nationalities, Taiwanese, Chinese, Vietnamese and Indonesian.

The most memorable thing about all the following dogs was how much each of them were loved by their owners. And all profits from these photoshoots were donated to the Bali [...]
This sandcastle heart was found on a Nusa Dua beach, Bali, at sunset. Nusa Dua has some great hotels, is reknowned for it’s crazy water sports and is not far from Benoa Harbour where tourists can catch a ferry to nearby Lembongan Island.
