It's A Small World - Or Is It?

Although there's lots of talk of the Internet shrinking the world and turning it into a global village, how much do we really know about other places and cultures? Along with the aforementioned Crystal, Tu gives us glimpses into worlds unknown to most Americans. The post abouthis vacation at Ha Long Bay, as well as numerous other posts detail everyday life in Vietnam. This picture was taken by Tu and he's graciously given Herding Cats permission to post it.

I love the silk-painting quality of the muted tones, the lone boat floating peacefully on the water, and the rugged mountains in the background. The brightness of the sun reflection against the darkness of the mountain in the foreground add depth to this peaceful landscape scene.
