Obo-Obo

Intimidated and awed.

The Obo Obo of each village stand scaringly proud against the ancient but bedazzeled temple backgrounds. I had just missed Nyepi...the annual festival in which all of the villages parade their Obo Obo to the town center, mock warring with each other along the way. A year's worth of invention and creative spirits of the villagers bring to life these demon enticers, so that the next year will be fruitful, good, and cleansed of the demons within.
