One warm afternoon during my time in Bali, I headed to a local warung (cafe) to grab lunch before heading to the class I was teaching later on that day. As it had just transitioned into the rainy season, I parked my motorbike under an awning, just in case. Unsurprisingly, it started to rain. But this time was different than usual. Over the course of about 30 minutes the streets had turned into turbulent rivers and people who were driving by had ditched their shoes and were fervently trying to stay dry under their flimsy plastic rain covers. I couldn't help but notice how many people were laughing or smiling in the midst of chaos. I concluded that there is something inherently funny about being completely out of control. And that it is, in truth, quite a beautiful thing.

I have been in that situation myself. I hope you were safe in a car.

I do believe the moment captured here is unique. One of innocence and yet somehow full of fear.

Interesting that two people out of 5 in the shot looked as you took this.
