As a snack, the locals who planted these beautiful flowers would just

crush the drying pod and pop the many tiny black seeds into the mouth.

What do you think of the flowers, the idea of the seeds as a snack,

the photo?

Could've been anywhere or on any other mode of transportation.

If you are in there, or in a car or subway train or bus to work,

you'd probably be only having some mundane chores in your mind as

these people seem to be having.

Sometimes nothing can be so different.

Alan, My cam (film) doesn't have the PS thing. Can the picture be digitally made good?

Zack, Wasn't a very bright day, but you are absolutely right. Sun's pointing at back of his head.

Got another shot of him, better lighting but expression not as good. Thanks for comment

To Moderator, Mary Ball:

Why have my post (posted 2 days ago) as well as Mr. Cuong Tran's reply to it disappeared from the forum?

Is there censorship, or is the forum 'manipulated' to suit?

Thank you.

Good angled shot. May be I also had one on this and a German man too before me.

Thanks for refreshing my memory. Its a lovely place.

It takes an imaginative mind to spot an image like that.

Perhaps you've got other shots of the same taken at different time of the day, care to share them?

Thanks for the comments. U r both spot-on on excessive brightness. My monitor is near the end of its useful life and hence the extra 'bright'adjustment I had to make for it to look good, albeit only on my monitor.

Thanks too Ciaran for the effort.

In Ko Samui, it could not have been better, even if its just a dog's

life.

No clipped-noses please.

As meaningful as the drooping water drops to me.

What do you think?

Great contrasts, subject and colour as well.

She spoke a language unmistakably close to Mandarin Chinese, and yet,

she could not produce what she said in writing, for her people never

had a written language.

No one knew when and how many full-moons ago that the long ridges of

the highland in mid-southern China extendedly brought them to the

north of Lao where they had been living for a long while since.

It could not be more appropriate that I found the caption in Hong

Kong. To me it symbolises what makes HK tick. The ironic twist is that I

came across it in the most expensive subsurb of the former colony,

Victoria Peak.
