This is a Balinese sculpture in front of the Gunung Agung in Bali, Indonesia.
The Gunung Agung (Indonesian: Gunung Agung) is an active volcano on Bali in Indonesia, forming the highest mountain on the island. Gunung=mountain and Agung=great, lofty or head.
Agung is Bali's holiest mountain, comparable to Greek Mount Olympus. The island's people see Agung as the 'navel of the world' the geographical and religious centre of the world. They sleep with their heads facing Agung and many believe the gods made the mountain to watch life below from that height.
In 1963 and 1964, Agung erupted after a 120-year lull. On 25 November 2017, there was another eruption of the volcano. The ash released in the process reached a height of six kilometres. A huge pyroclastic flow rolled down the volcano's slope during the eruption. On 27 June 2018, an ash eruption sent an ash cloud 2.5 km high into the sky. On July 2, lava eruption followed at 9.05am local time.
The statue in the foreground is near the restaurant from where this photo was taken.
