This is a great picture. A very nice scene, with a strong contrast between the historical place and the careless tourists.
Very good wide angle pov.
You know, I was just looking at the world press photo book 2009, and this is a kind of picture which would fit well in that book.
Really excellent.
Regards Stefano

Hello Maciej. The photo pleases me very well. It is beautiful, lively, and worth seeing - and somewhat humorous. A few years ago I was in Bali and wanted to visit the Borobudur. The time was then too short. Best regards, Wolfgang.
