Peaks of a Buddhist temple silhouetted before a predawn sky
Misty clouds floating past a series of volcanoes
A man with a lamp in the carved doorway of a cave
Muslims praying in a temple
Women wear traditional headdresses.
Spotlights illuminating a stone temple
Terraced crops lining a hillside
Ornately decorated dancers on a stage
A man holding a hand-carved wooden mask
A woman with a parasol in a carved doorway
A young orangutan leaning against an older one
Small, humped islands extend to the horizon.
A Komodo dragon on a beach
Costumed women walking toward a temple
Men in an outdoor pool
Divers on a coral reef
Young men in a ritual
A temple on a lake
