Growing up I saw stories of the war in Vietnam on a black and white tv. Your pictures have shown me another Vietnam - beautiful, but not perfect, and not in black and white. Thank you.
Mary your photographs are amazing, I'd be hard put to pick a favorite but I think I love the contrast between the old, shabby rundown outside and the pink, trendy inside of the shoe store the most. Keep 'em coming, dear friend, you know how much I enjoy travelling with you this way.
These photos are just exquisite! The colors are so stunning, and you have captured these vignettes beautifully. It makes me want to paint these scenes! I know it meant a lot for you to get to see them, and for your friend Kim to share her country with you, and you again with her through the photos!
Magnificent! Beautiful colors! Oh how I would love to go here. Did you buy some shoes. Love the lanterns from yesterday and the one today. Oh the colors, yes they speak for themselves. Now I see where the colors came from in my friends art quilts she made while living there.
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR is a fresh version of my former three year blog ACROSS THE POND which can still be accessed by clicking on the title above. I'm a transplanted Brit enjoying life in North Carolina.
Sixty two years of journeying back and forth across the wide Atlantic Ocean have kept me busy…….and made my life very interesting! Although I've now visited all seven continents, I continue to travel and look forward to sharing new places around the world. I love taking photos! All images are my own unless noted otherwise. Please do not use my photos without a request. I enjoy sharing and will usually say OK!
Good Morning Mary,
ReplyDeleteLovely to chat with you yesterday!
The colors are so vivid there! That yellow and green are amazing.
Hugs,
Penny
