Urban Fishing, Da Nang, Vietnam

Marble Mountain, Da Nang, Vietnam

Marble Mountain – a mass of marble and other rock jutting above the coastal plain just south of Da Nang. The place is a maze of steep paths, caves, and grottoes with Buddhist temples and shrines throughout. It is a very interesting place, worth another visit. But my legs are stiff today from all the climbing.

Beachcomber, Danang, Vietnam

I was walking on the beach, camera in hand, when this man approached and pointed at the camera and then himself. He wanted his picture taken and, in such cases, mine is not to reason why, but to point and shoot. We moved to the nearest coconut palm, he struck a pose – a darn good one if I do say so – and the job was done. I showed him the result in the camera’s viewer, he smiled suggesting approval, we shook hands and went our separate ways.

On the Beach, Danang, Vietnam

Danang’s ocean front runs north to south for several kilometers, ultimately making it to Hoi An about 10 km to the south.

The waves are rolling in are off the South China Sea, a body of water often in the news these days.
