Tanah Lot of Bali, Indonesia
This group of photos were shared by my friend who was in Bali recently. This series captured the Tanah Lot, a famous rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. The first two shot were taken about 15 minutes just before sunset. Tanah Lot is home of a famous pilgrimage temple, the Pura Tanah Lot and a popular picture motiv for tourists.
According to Wikipedia, Tanah Lot means "Land in the Middle of the sea" in Balinese language. Located about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a huge offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.

Bali is always beautiful, love that place :)
I always find it interesting how older cultures name places with descriptive words.
In Bali:
Tanah - 'Land in the Middle of the 'sea'
In the US:
Pittsburg - ?
Maine - ?
