Weak support Exotic and original, but technically the highlights are blown -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:12, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Oppose This is certainly a fascinating subject, but the lighting (midday, summer, backlit) does the scene no wonders. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:49, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Question What does "summer" mean in Bali? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:32, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- A machine translation told me "musim panas". Not exactly sure if it's accurate. Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk | contribs) 20:53, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- "Musim panas" is "hot season." I don't know what that means in regard to light. When I lived in Malaysia, the sun rose and set at almost exactly the same time every day, and Bali isn't far enough south of the Equator for things to be much different there. Our musim panas was a drought season with fewer clouds than usual, almost no rain and oppressive heat, almost devoid of sea breezes. "Musim sejuk" ("cold season") there was the monsoon season, when a ceremony like the one pictured here would have been impossible; I don't think Bali has equally severe monsoons, but I don't know how severe they are. There was a rest of the year, when it sometimes rained and sometimes didn't and there was a regular sea breeze along the Terengganu coast where I lived. This was in the 70s, though, and by my 2nd visit to Malaysia in 2003, global warming had made everything more irregular. This is from the "Climate" section of w:Bali: "Being just 8 degrees south of the equator, Bali has a fairly even climate all year round. Average year-round temperature stands at around 30 °C (86 °F) with a humidity level of about 85%.Daytime temperatures at low elevations vary between 20 to 33 °C (68 to 91 °F), but the temperatures decrease significantly with increasing elevation." And from the "Climate" section of Wikivoyage's star-rated article on Bali: "Daytime temperatures are pleasant, varying between 20–33⁰C (68–93⁰F) year-round. From December to March, the west monsoon can bring heavy showers and high humidity, but days are still often sunny with the rains starting in the late afternoon or evening and passing quickly. From June to September, the humidity is low and it can be quite cool in the evenings. At this time of the year there is hardly any rain in the lowland coastal areas. Even when it is raining across most of Bali, you can often enjoy sunny, dry days on the Bukit Peninsula which receives far less rain than any other part of the island. On the other hand, in central Bali and in the mountains, you should not be surprised by cloudy skies and showers at any time of the year." All for what it's worth. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:06, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- That's actually pretty cool! Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk | contribs) 04:00, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the insight, Ikan! This is one thing I love about the FPC page: one can learn so many things here. --Aristeas (talk) 09:22, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sure thing. My artist father was frustrated that it was impossible to even sketch sunsets in Malaysia, because they took 20 minutes from start to complete darkness. Light conditions are not the same in equatorial zones as in temperate zones. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:17, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
