My stay in Amed, in the north of Bali, is coming to an end (sigh). How I love this place!!
I'm going to make it short tonight, because I have all my stuff to put in the bags, I have not dined yet and at the time of writing this post it is already late to eat, here ...
So I leave Amed tomorrow morning for the island of Nusa Lembongan. I'm leaving early, at dawn: direction. Sanur, from where boats leave for the Nusa Islands (Lembongan, Ceningan, Penida), south of Bali.
I still have lots of dives to tell you (the Liberty, of course, but also the many other sites in the area), the work of the salt workers to show you (harvest of salt in full sun on the black sand), but I will content myself, today, to offer you, in images, my two happinesses of the day.
Sunset on the Gunung Agung
Starting with the wonderful sunset on the Gunung Agung... Each different night, always bewitching. Sometimes the volcano disappears under the clouds, at other times, it sports just a small fluffy collar. Other nights, he has the grace to appear naked, and his huge silhouette is cut out of the gold of the sky ...
To avoid missing the last rays of the sunset, we must come around 17:30, at the top of the promontory overlooking the east bay of Jemeluk, sit there, on a rock, facing the volcano, and wait.
The landscape and the sky change from minute to minute, it's magical!
Frog-fish red on black sand
Finally, discovered by Kadek, my Lynx eye guide, near the wreck of the Liberty, in the sand, this cute little frog-fish (antenna or fish-toad).
I photographed it over and over again, for long minutes, just before an army of Japanese divers arrived... Bad mouths, coral stirrers and sand lifters. Some underwater indelicts... Phew, I'm glad I went before them!

Good plan for accommodation and diving in Tulamben
July 2012. Small addition: I have been back to Bali several times since 2008, and I dived again on the fabulous wreck of the Libertybut with a guide for me alone and at the right time (when it's less crowded)... I point out this really good map of a diving resort, which is also an excellent address, especially if you are a sub photographer, and you want to discover the wreck in the best possible conditions:
