  "Not many photo streams can depict Bali as accurately as yours. For people who have never been there I would show this collection as an incredible introduction to Bali. But also once one has been there this collection will bring back every single vivid memory. It is truly special. It brings back the familiar and the new every time I visit, which is every day. From nature to everyday life and art to commercial tourist attractions and locations the beauty of Bali is captured in a systematic way. Thank you!!!!!!!!"

  "Testimonial for Gede Sanat Kumara
  
  Gede Sanat Kumara is a perfect representative of his island of the gods and demons: Bali. I myself have done research for my masterthesis on Life Cycle Rituals in Balinese Hinduism. Had I only known him, it would have been much easier since he is an insider and always tries to pass on his immense knowledge to people.
  I admire his work, be it photography or words. His brilliant eye as well as his outstanding capability of photographic techniques make his photos an extraordinary species of his art.
  Whenever I see his pictures they bring back memories and I feel touched emotionally. I would want to pack and go straight away to the island of the gods and demons and celebrate a puja with the wonderful people there or go on a phototour with Sanat.
  
  Regina Siebrecht, M.A."

  "The dedication and passion that Pak Gede has for Bali are always explicitly evident in every pictures that he has captured. They so way beyond the beautiful landscapes and majestic temples and explore even more deeply into the real soul of the island found in the people and the culture they so proudly uphold and nurture.
  Some pictures are worth a million words. Pak Gede blessed with a combination of excellent technical skills and a sharp eye for raw and honest emotions of his surroundings, has shared stories through his extensive collection of inspirational and though provoking pictures.
  One of my favorite pictures of his, titled "Cremation" could easily mistaken for a cover picture of the National Geographic magazine.
  All in all, I am very grateful to have him as an excellent ambassador to our country who tirelessly promote to a large audience from accross the globe, and remind us all, how even after recent hardships and turmoil, it remain one of the world's prime tourist destinations."

  "Ever since I decided to travel to Bali I searched and searched for photographs of this magical island on the internet for inspiration. Even on gettyimages.com, I couldn't see the 'true Bali'. It took me quite some time to find just what I was looking for and 'BALIwww.com' provided the images I so desired to view. For that, I am grateful. I now know I have chosen the right place to travel so far to for outstanding photographs to strengthen my portfolio. BALIwww.com's photographs are vibrant - full of life, culture and depth."

  "If you wanna explore from your armchair or wanna know what the place is like before you visit the famous island of Bali, Indonesia, look no further.
  Gede's photostream have the very best in photos & info about this fabulous & magical island. Not only Gede is a fantastic photographer, he is there, locally able to provide info about nearly everything you need to know about Bali, the various resorts, best scenic spots, the beautiful beaches & the arts of exotic Balinese culture. His sensational pics of Bali look like those that jump out at you from magazine like National Geographic! Those astonishing pics are able to move you emotionally, tempting you physically to really wanna go to those spectacular places on the next plane out!
  Most tourists won't have the time to see everything & even if you had visited Bali, you'll still be delightfully surprised by his pics. What Gede's photostream offered is a much much wider perspective of beautiful Bali & his websites is a must visit for anyone interested in Bali.
  With all those combination, not surprising that a great many people deeply appreciated the huge effort which Gede Sanat Kumara puts into promoting fascinating & mythical Bali."

  "As being myself a frequent visitor and admirer of Indonesian culture and its people for over 40 years now I very much appreciate all the efforts that I Gede Sanat Kumara puts in promoting the beauty, culture and astonishing arts of this fascinating part of the world.
  In his photography he not only highlights up the wonders of his home place, the famous island of Gods, Bali, but also is able to show and bring us very near other outstanding places of the Indonesian archipelago, consisting of more than 13 000 islands. A visit to Bali and any place beyond will be an experience not to be forgotten for all your life.
  I wish I Gede Sanat Kumara also further on all the success he deserves for his great work."

  "Dear Pak Gede,
  
  everybody will find a lot about Bali in the net, may it be photos, forums, articles, there are heaps in the internet, but unfortunately most of this stuff is provided by more or less outsiders.
  
  I’m a great fan of your blog.baliwww.com/ blog and I only found out about your flickr presence some weeks ago, where is the difference to all these other blogs and photo sites?
  The difference is – you are not only a great photographer (there are many) but you are one of the (very limited) people, which are able to provide also the information about the images you deliver, this is insight info, from a Balinese point of view and I appreciate this a lot, you are an ambassador for Balinese culture on the net and this makes you unique.
  
  Om Canti Canti Canti Om
  Thorsten"

  "Bali is a wonderfully diverse island that has something to offer to everyone, whether you just want to enjoy its wonderful beaches, admire its beautiful landscapes of rice fields against a backdrop of volcanoes, or immerse yourself deeply into the Hindu culture.
  BALIwww shows the island in all its diversity. A browse through his photostream and through the groups administered by him are an excellent way to soak up ideas for your visit to Bali, or alternatively (as in my case) to catch up on what you did not manage to see. I hope he continues his role as promotor of this wonderful gem of an island."

  "Bali is in deed a very special spot on this planet – a spot with a lot of magic. Gede Sanat Kumara is able to capture a slice of this magic in his pictures and this makes browsing though his stream like looking through a window. I very much appreciate Gede’s great work as it shortens my waiting for my next trip to Bali. Thank you Gede and keep it up "

  "I felt heartbroken when I visited Bali after the bombings. I found an innocent, warm and spiritual people, so many of whom had directly or indirectly based their lives on tourism, suffering as casualties in a war they had nothing to do with. Even now they have not recovered fully, and have even more problems as a result of poor recent relations between Indonesia and Australia.
  
  I Gede Sanat Kumara, is doing great work in promoting the Island of Bali, not just its natural beauty but also real Balinese people, through his own wonderful pictures, and his administration of Bali related photo groups.
  
  Look at I Gede Sanat Kumara's photographs and then visit Bali, a place and a people that once encountered is never forgotten."
