Bali has so many beautiful things, but this two-part gate is really something special

You see it standing proudly all over the island

You realize that every single one has been crafted with great care and effort, and it is impressive to look at

This gate is called "Candi Bental" and is an indispensable part of Balinese Hindu architecture

Doesn't it look like a single tower has been split in two?

The locals believe that it represents the sacred Mount Agung
It also has a deeper meaning: it symbolizes the balance between good and evil, in other words the harmony of the universe

When you walk through this gate it feels like you are entering a quiet sanctuary, and the noise of the outside world disappears

It is not just a door, but a place to rest the mind and soul

That day I had a business meeting with a friend, but in the afternoon I am trying photography

I had just moved to a new Hotel, and luckily the beach was only 10 minutes away

I grabbed my camera and rushed to the beach just in time for the golden hour

I had barely arrived there, It was so quiet, a truly magical sight I took many photos, but decided to edit only one, To capture this perfect Moment It Was a day when work and the beauty of nature collided

What do you feel when you see this gate?
Can you feel the silence in the air?
