Arkka, I well remember shooting Kodachromes in this area in 1972.
I remember the lush, fertile greens of the terrace borders, the rice plants, the banana trees, the coconut trees and after harvest, the bright yellow of the sun-dried straw against the brown of the stubble; all under a rich blue sky. Black and white is great for some landscapes, but my memories are of glorious colour. All my films were stolen before I returned to Australia; a disaster, but I am determined to go back and do it again. Perhaps we can meet in Ubud and go together to photograph this most beautiful place; the rice-fields of the gods.

Wow, I can't believe you still have a fresh memory for the scene you saw about 40 years ago, eh? And I feel a shame for the film stealer, why would someone do that? I mean what's the benefit for them? 
Yeah I agree with you, it just I'm in the mood of studying black and white recently. It's another issues for me to choose between the b&w or the colored version. lol.
Sounds awesome! Promise me whenever you have the plan for Bali, contact me. I'll fly there as soon as I got your message. Email me at arkkaka@yahoo.com or I can add you in facebook, if you have one? I'm very excited about this

Haha, none of my memories are fresh anymore, as you'll understand when you reach my age. I remember much detail from 40 years ago but forget what I had for breakfast yesterday. The thief was an assistant hired for me from HK; he took all my working capital except for $100 and he took all my 35mm film including exposed rolls and left me 6 long out-dated rolls of kodachrome 25; virtually useless for photography in the forests and mountains. I'm told that he regreted his crime when caught up with.
Bali is a promise, though it might not be this year; my wife has other plans for this years Summer holidays in July/August, but I wouldn't dream of going to Bali or anywhere in Indonesia without you. Incidentally, I met my first wife on Jumpuan bridge in Ubud and took her to see the Tegalalang rice terraces that afternoon; but that's a story for another time and place.
