Beautiful ! I especially like the information you give about each photo.

Dear Jean: It seems to me that a brief description of an image is essential to understanding content of the contents. At Facebook (Larry.Welch.100/Facebook.com), I uploaded over 20,000 postings, each with a little description. People really like that and it helps them understand importance of photograph. Of course, some aren't important at all, especially mine, but I generally love them all as my children. :) :) Thanks for comment.

Amazing architecture, Larry! it looks soo unique and original...

Dear Daisy: The architecture is different from Buddhist temples in Thailand, for one, the old temples in Laos are made of wood. I took this shot in the city of Luang Prabang, home of 31 ancient temples, all easily reached by bicycle. I am thinking just as you do, that it is amazing. Happy New Year!
