We had arranged a tour of Er Lake with stops at a few different points around the lake. Upon arriving at our first stop, we headed to the top deck to check out the view. My jaw dropped when I saw this. The amphibious invasion had already begun in earnest.

jane-ta asked: The photo of the gentleman with the child on his back brought tears to my eyes.
Hi Jane, thanks for your note. He was truly an amazing person. In hindsight, I wish I could have done more for him. He gave me so much more in return, so I hope I can go back there one day to express my gratitude properly.

Also, that technique where you make a scene seem like it's a toy set (one of your China photos, and also one of Yosemite Valley) is amazing!
Thank you, you’ve made my day. :)

After seeing photographs of his grandchildren, he invited us to have lunch at his home. He was simply amazing. With a sleeping child on his back, he prepared for us a fantastic meal using wild mushrooms, squash, and potatoes that he grew himself.

After seeing his photograph, the man couldn’t stop smiling. He asked me where I was from and started telling me his story. He showed me some wounds on this body that he received when he fought against Americans in the Korean War.
