Gunung
#Agung is at it again! The volcano started erupting again today, sending a thick plume of smoke high in to the atmosphere above Bali.
If you live in or around the exclusion zone please keep in mind - this is still a very active volcano and anything can happen.
BE SAFE, BALI!

BREAKING NEWS - GUNUNG AGUNG VOLCANO ON BALI NOW ERUPTING
.
Bali's Mt Agung volcano has begun erupting, with an ash cloud rising 700 metres above the summit.
.
Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency said the eruption remained small so far but the volcano was emitting a thick grey ash cloud blowing to the east and south-east.
.
The agency's spokesman has urged residents to remain calm.
.
There has been no change to an evacuation zone around the volcano, which extends between 6-7.5 kilometres from the summit.
.
That is about half the size of the initial evacuation zone established in late September, when the shifting magma beneath the volcano caused numerous earth tremors.
.
The disaster management agency said there were 29,000 evacuees living in shelters around the volcano — well down from more than 150,000 people who were living in the shelters in September, when the volcano first showed signs of eruption.
.
Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport so far remains open.
.
The BNPB says the eruption is a "steam driven explosion" but said the danger zone around the volcano was "dynamic" and could change at any time.

@bali - Coasting in neutral down from Pura Pasar Agung, Gunung Agung on Monday, October 2 at around 3PM. You can see that the entire mountain and all surrounding villages have been evacuated, save for some dogs, chickens and monkeys. Heavy steam/vapor can be seen at higher elevations, though it's not apparent if this has anything to do with volcanic heating (it could just be normal cloud cover). Geologists say there is a high likelihood that eruption is eminent, but also admit they cannot accurately predict volcanic activity. The best thing to do now is respect the power of the volcano, the safety of the locals and yourself. Just stay clear of Gunung Agung.

Today is Galungan holiday in Bali. The Balinese celebrate the day of Galungan, which commemorates the triumph of Dharma over Adharma, or good against evil.
.
Galungan marks the beginning of the most important recurring religious ceremonies. The spirits of deceased relatives who have died and been cremated return to visit their former homes, and the current inhabitants have a responsibility to be hospitable through prayers and offerings.
.
The most obvious sign of the celebrations are the penjor - bamboo poles with offerings suspended at the end. These are installed by the side of roads. A number of days around the Kuningan day have special names, and are marked by the organization of particular activities.

The fire war tradition in Jamari Village Karangasem, is a once in two years event which occurs one day before the silent day of Nyepi. The fire war will start around 6pm in the evening after the sun goes down. The event takes place at the central road in Jasri Village, which goes to Tulamben. Just follow the road through the Jasri Beach then after the gas station you will find cross section with a statue of a women holding salak fruit. from this cross section just go straight around 100m.
.
The procession is started by the villagers having a ceremonial or caru offerings. Then everyone gathers on the street holding dry coconut leaves which are tied to around the size of human arms. The leaves are then lit on fire and used as a weapon for each side. The two groups are separated by a wire made from plastic thread as a marker of each side teritory. The fire war is meant to be a symbolic event of self control where during the war every one of the participants will throw the fire with emotion and at the same time must be alert to aviod danger. After the ceremony is completed usually around 5 rounds no one should keep anger or revenge.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA NYEPI 2017
.
Firstly, shout out to
@embarafilms for the awesome trailer for their upcoming film
Nyepi Balinese "Day of Silence"
.
Nyepi, also known as 'Balinese Day of Silence,' falls on Tuesday, March 28 this year. That's in two days, folks. Please be aware.
.
This holiday, which is completely unique to Bali, is known to many simply as the day Bali shuts down. While the streets will be empty and even the airport suspends all flights, Nyepi is a day full of holy prayer and self-reflection for most Balinese people.
.
In the days preceding Nyepi, the streets of Bali will be full of festive ceremonies and parades such as the Melasti Ceremony (March 25th) and the Ogoh-Ogoh Parades (March 27th). However, the rule of the island on Nyepi day (Tuesday, March 28th) is that you should not be outside of your house or hotel, you should not use electricity, and you should refrain from doing any activities that may disturb someone who might be meditating.
.
Basically, if you are a tourist, you need to respect these practices. Even if you are not a practicing Hindu, you should use this time for self-reflection. Turn off your phone. Forget about Instagram. Forget about the television and music for just one day. You never know what you might learn about yourself.
