A photograph of a stone temple courtyard in Bali with weathered carved guardian statues in front of a latticed stone wall. Four stone figures stand on a low stone base, one wearing a grey sarong, another a red sash. Two tall umbrellas frame the scene, one white with fringe and one yellow-orange. Several visitors stand on a raised stone platform behind: a woman in a red top and yellow belt, a woman in a white striped shirt and a person in a wide-brimmed straw hat, all gesturing toward the statues. A child and a person at the lower left edge are partly visible. Carved stone walls and foliage surround the area.
