Photo Hunters : Creative

Well, as I get more engrossed in photography, I realise that nature is full of subjects to shoot and it is of how creative one is to compose a shot that brings that nature alive. Then there are those who are skillful in their hands and are able to do something creative - a work of art.
During a recent trip to Bali, we were taken to many places among which was a place filled with locally made wood carvings. These are some of the creative works.
My nephew Sherman looking at this carved horse with awe.
And admiring the dolphins too!
But Bali had lots to offer which I would soon blog about, my G7 canon had its own story to tell.
One main creative idea that struck me was how one adapts a sling from a child’s play (the catapult) to a nerve wrenching jaw dropping eyeballs rolling adrenaline filled fun game — the Bali Slingshot - where one sits in an open circular structure which spins in its axis and is catapult straight upwards to the dark sky at nerve wrecking speed.
There are more to share especially when one has just arrived from a such a creative island, Bali, but then I will not be able to blog about it.

Those sculptures are awesome. Love the horse one. So is the slingshot a ride? Great photos and thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful week.

As always, your photos are just stupendous. The wood carvings are something else. (I’d never go in that slingshot ride!)

Great photos as usual George. I especially like the wooden dolphin sculpture since the grain is so interesting and also I love things made of wood. Although there are no fish this week, it fits in with the underwater theme of your blog.

Bali is beautiful! The wood carvings of Bali is very lifelike and beautiful too. I hope it is not too expensive.
