Hindu Boy-Bali, Indonesia

A very colorful festival was going at one of the local temples near Ubud.

I really wanted to go crazy snapping photos, but locals here are understandably hesitant about being photographed. (There are just too many tourists here on Bali.)

One kind mother consented to having a photo taken of her son.
