*Other than the Balinese gates, when in Bali, you would definitely not miss their guardian statues... They go hand-in-hand with the entrances as well as they are everywhere!* *They may look fierce or intimidating but there's a reason for that - they are meant to protect you from the bad and evil spirits.* *There are so many too! I have two featured here...* _____________ [](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSbGfP6vYLXr44oT7v93x35YssZmPCk82i78FQiWm7oQ1/DSC03669b.jpg) <center>*Found this at a garden... probably at one of the entrances This was a full figure and I cropped the photograph to capture just the expression And the details of the carving... The strong light here helped enhance the textures and lines of this statue*</center><br> _____________ [](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTgrQ2FxZ9k8vZwdn74AfZ63dAmJWBG1VrRBwHyN3H325/DSC03731b-ii.jpg) <center>*This one I decided on a colorsplash as the cloth tied as a headpiece was this fantastic colour! You see its pair in the background These were guarding a temple entrance A little muted in the details, I suspect it must be very old... Look at how dark the stone has gone... and the fine web around and over the stone*</center><br> _____________ <sub>Captured with SONY A5100 | © image & text original content | click image for fullscreen view</sub> _____________ ###### #Monochromes and #monomad by @brumest ~ more about it [here](https://steemit.com/monomad/@monochromes/monomad-august-21st-winning-picks-and-honorable-mentions)<br> <br> _____________ _____________ ### <br><center>I'm with QURATOR...
