巴厘岛风光 （Scenic Bali）

巴厘岛是个独特的岛屿，在这个高科技时代，她不仅没有高速公路，没有火车铁道，没有高楼大厦，也没有很多工业；她有的，似乎是与生俱来的艺术血统，流露着浓浓的文化气息，以及自然不造作的优雅气质。

对于巴厘岛的风景，如果我是个诗人，我会诗兴大发而吟诗作词；如果我是个歌者，我会心旷神怡而高歌一曲；如果我是个作家，我会舞文弄墨大做文章；如果我是个画家，我会手痒难耐就地取材。

然而，我只是个摄影发烧友，于是我只好让可怜的相机超时工作，履行它的职责，把巴厘岛的明媚风光带到大家的电脑萤幕前。

There is no absolute unit to measure how beautiful a place is. Whether a particular place is considered scenic or not may be highly subjective and relative to each other. It is also not incorrect to say that beauty is always related more (or entirely?) to art rather than science.

Bali is an island of art and culture in nature. I was astonished to be told that there is no highway at all in the island. Neither is there a railway service nor mass rapid transit. I could not see any high-rise building taller than a coconut tree (the pagoda shape temple may be the tallest). There is no industrial area (I only saw a Coca Cola factory throughout my stay there). Almost the whole population is dependent on art and culture, tourism, and agricultural sector to make a living.

I shall not describe how scenic the island is. Instead I shall let the pictures here uncover the mask of Balinese scenic face.
