@djflore Just spent a timeless while after supper enjoying your photo tour. Much appreciated.
I would take issue with your final line "Vietnam - a country to add to your travel plan without a doubt!" -- no: casual, itinerary-ticking tourists dont. With photos this good, who needs to burn all that jet fuel and contribute to the destruction of such places by over-tourism? Let those who really must immerse themselves go visit, but dont make it too easy.
We each have the capacity to make a place [near where] _we_ live more beautiful, by rejecting industrialised consumer norms and enjoying the satisfying hard work of making something uniquely beautiful of our own.

@wavesculptor thanks a lot, appreciate the feedback.
I think there’s a fine line between assuming “we” are “better” tourists than others, and allowing a place to remain true to itself without depriving it from the benefits even industrialised tourism can bring

@djflore Such wonderful photos! These bring back good memories of my trip to Vietnam way back in 1992. But you took much better photos than I did.

@jeridansky I suppose the equipment also made it easier than back then! Amazing, must have been so different.

@djflore It was an amazing time to be there; the country had just opened up to individual tourists, so I was able to go by myself instead of with a group. Everyone wanted to practice their English with me, and wanted to know if Mr. Bill Clinton was going to lift the trade embargo.

@jeridansky this is incredible - did you ever consider writing about the trip?

@stevenray thank you - glad it brings some joy
