Today's photo is one I took from the Pont de la Concorde of dusk on the Seine. It's a classic view with the Pont Alexander III and the Eiffel Tower both in the shot.
The Elysian Fields in Greek Mythology were the resting place of the blessed dead - the heroic and the virtuous. So is the lady on the bike tempting fate?
So one last photo of a karst limestone island from Phang Nga Bay and then off to new locations. Well, two actually, a black-and-white and a color rendering of the island.
Having explored another hong it was time to paddle back to the boat once more. The rain had moved out some time prior but the sky remained overcast.
There must be a bazillion islands in Phang Nga Bay, some of them habitable, most of them not and, of course, the one featured in the James Bond movie, 'The Man with the Golden Gun'.
Not living on the edge as in poverty, or as in all the violence that seems to envelope the world these days though there are obvious parallels to the life and future of this flower I captured living in a crack in the limestone rock of one of the karst islands of Phang Nga Bay.
