Goa Gajah!


Goa Gajah--an ancient Hindi temple discovered somewhat recently. This site is snuggled up to a village near Ubud, dug into a cliff hugging a river. I found the tree at the base of the site the most interesting; its roots covered the spance of its' great leaf sillouette. A few locals squatted ontop the roots, like tree frogs, only these ones were waiting to be a “guide” for curious tourists. One tried to show me the “Buddha head” boulders that once faced the river bend, but have since been bounced off their wall from mighty earthquakes. Looked like big rocks to me. I suppose I found the “guides” more interesting :)
