Jamie Cato features in today's Photo of the Day, seen here at Northern Nats 2018 in his VN Holden Commodore SS 'BATTLER'. Jamie was one of a small contingent of WA drivers who made the long trek to Springmount Raceway in Far Northern Queensland for the 3rd annual Northern Nats. Along with a number of other drivers including Chris Orchard in BALLISTIC and Matt James in UNWANTED (riding shotgun for this skid), Jamie laid down some awesome skids all weekend long.

This photo is also a little special for me, as it's the first in the Photo of the Day series not shot by myself. This photo was taken by my fiancee, Lori, who helped me to shoot Northern Nats 2018, as well as a wedding the previous weekend. I figured today was a fitting day to feature one of Lori's photos as it's also her birthday today.

Today's Photo of the Day comes from Bali, Indonesia. This is from the Tegenungan Falls area, and while not the main waterfall here, this is a far more complex set of waterfalls than the much bigger and more easily spotted main waterfall. From the top of the steps down to the bottom of the Tegenungan Falls, it's possible to go directly to the falls and miss these ones all together, but if you take the path to the left, you'll pass these waterfalls on the way down. The Tegenungan Falls are in Kemenuh, approximately 20 kilometers north of Sanur.
