More to come - I'm just re-organizing where I put my photos up, since the site here changed (I was using the web-space here, but that doesn't appear to be accessible anymore). _________________ "To a committed free-thinker, blasphemy is not a crime but a duty" - me

Culturally seems strong enough, but I get the rather strong impression of a big divide between the guys on top and the rest, especially out in the rural areas, away from the big cities. _________________ "To a committed free-thinker, blasphemy is not a crime but a duty" - me

Thank you, Sv. I have to admit that some of these religious buildings can make nice pictures . _________________ "To a committed free-thinker, blasphemy is not a crime but a duty" - me

Welcome back Bobspence1! Long time no see. Nice photos.
Here is one from Blackpool, UK.
Not a nice town at all, I don't think I will be visiting there again any time soon.

Yeah I got busy, then then site got re-organised, so I had to find somewhere else to host my images for linking to...
Anyway, here's a couple more from Vietnam:
On Halang Bay, near Hanoi:
A quiet moment looking over the Lake in Hanoi:
