Lontar - the highly skilled, ancient art form that has been passed down generations in Bali. A palm-leaf manuscript.

I had the privilege of being welcomed into the home of a Balinese gentleman, up in the mountains, just outside of Sidemen. Where he wanted to show me something…

Here, he showed me some of his family’s ancient manuscripts that have been passed down through generations.

This is the ancient art of “Lontar”, an ancient technique used to write on leaves from the Lontar palm tree. You write using a knife called tatah, to etch symbols and letters.

Often, these pieces used to cover various aspects of life, like astronomy, history, healing and spirituality.

It was really cool to watch him write some words for me using this technique, as well as seeing all of his old manuscripts 🥺

These particular photos captures a serene moment for me, when we stumbled upon locals on our road trip up north - bathing in the ocean by the roadside, off the beaten path.

Just a beautiful moment in life I wish to always remember.

Observing these monkeys in the wild was one of the best experiences ever.

Javanese Langurs (“Black Monkeys”) are endangered due to poaching and loss of habitat in both Bali and Java 🥺 In Bali, there are only a few flocks left that live in a protected area in the northwest part of Bali.

These monkeys are herbivores 🍃 (caught one eating on the last slide) and very fragile unlike the grey Macaques you se everywhere all over South East Asia.

The species are usually very shy and scared of humans, so I’m very grateful we got to see them up close.
