The heart of the Rice Terrace - It was pouring down at eight o’clock in the morning when I left a co-living place in Renon in Bali. Rain in the dry season is rare, especially the ones that make a pounding noise on the body of a car. I was fortunate to be in such a beautiful rice field right after the rain. Their famous "p**p coffee" known as Kopi Luwak, was so enjoyable looking over the view from a balcony. I went down all the way to the bottom of the field and saw a small stream, bridges, statues, and another heart, which is shown in a pinkish stage on the left side of the photo (It is hard to see the heart shape in the photo.). The air was crisp and it was refreshing to be in nature after a few weeks of internship in Bali.
