Good one, Port Morseby. Markets are always fascinating places to visit and this one looks exceptional. Very colourful people as well as the wares they sell and your pictures certainly tell a story.

Thank you for another look at a place and life that are so different from mine...and that yet reminds me that each of us goes forward each day with the common necessity of living, contributing and contemplating the next day.

A compelling set of beautiful framed images, PortMoresby. Thanks for sharing this adventure with all of us.

It's so good to have an effort appreciated. Thanks, guys.

The 13 pictures which follow are from a day spent with a friend in a long boat on Inle Lake in central Burma's Shan State.  We boarded with our boatman on a waterway that leads from Nyaungshwe, about 3 miles from the north end...

Getting to Nyaungshwe from Mandalay by air is a surreal experience.  But then much of travel in Burma is, in one way or another, surreally beautiful or incongruous.  In this case it’s the latter. 

The day began when our boatman collected us at our guesthouse at the north end of Inle Lake, a shallow and beautiful body of water surrounded by mountains in Shan State.
