Last time I went to Danau Kaco a few years ago, there were a TON of these friendly little guys. This time, this was basically the only leech we saw the whole time.
Sin Ho's markets is the biggest and most colourful market for Hill tribe people in Vietnam. Non turistic and still off the beaten path, we rented a motorbike and did a trhee days route through the most scenic region of North Vietnam

Overnight camp out in Chiselbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort on the top of Fovant Down, famous for it's Great War camp badges carved in the chalk of its slopes. A 40+ mile ride from home in Southampton, up to Salisbury via Romsey and the National Cycle Network Route 24, then to Salisbury Racecourse where I picked up the old cattle drove that goes all the way to Shaftesbury.
Dusk falling meant I overshot my destination in the poor light! I rode another mile or two to Ansty before realising my mistake, and had to backtrack, so by the time I reached the old fort I had missed the sunset there and it was properly dark.
The sunrise made up for that though. Up at 5.30 and a short walk to the chalk cap badges while I brewed up some tea.
Back on the road shortly after, keen to get back before the midday heat.

This outdoor market is actually the overflow from the vast underground markets beneath the buildings on either side of the street.
Olivet Cemetary in Hugo, OK where Freckles Brown, Lane Frost and a lot of circus performers are buried.
As part of the feature in the Riverboat Discovery Cruise, the ship stops along the banks at Trailbreaker Kennels - home and kennels of the late four-time Iditarod champion Susan Butcher. Her husband, Dave Monson, a champion of the Yukon Quest, shares stories of life in the dog yard and on the trails, as puppies play in anticipation of joining the team.

Our local friends were walking a bit ahead of us, when suddenly they came running back, crying out that there was a sun bear on the path coming towards us! Our guide Arwan and I of course ran towards it. On the way, I heard some twigs snapping to my left and turned to see the rump of the bear running off. I raised my camera and snapped three shots as fast as I could. The first two were still in the process of focusing, and by the time the third in-focus shot fired, the bear had disappeared. Here is the missed shot of regret (although, perhaps the rump can still be made out through the underbrush? Hard to say). Kicking myself!
I like abandoned school because the pastel painted walls, the cool drininking fountains, the bathrooms where places were delightfully deranged, the smily face gold stars everywhere, and the gum under the formica coated desk tops. But when schools are abandoned you can hear the laughter in the halls but its only a ghost. You can smell the pecil dust falling from the sharpener but its only decay. School is out for the summer but come fall no one returns. Bells no longer ring and children no longer sing, but the voices are forver cemented in every footstep and finger print
This was taken at the world-famous Tsukiji Fish Market. The fish mongers here load hundreds these huge tuna for sale every morning. We had to wake up at sunrise to catch it, but the sashimi made it well worth the trip!
What was once (most likely) a country store located on MD 806 (old US15) just south of the Catoctin Iron Furnace. Note the native stone foundation. On the north side of the building is the Harriet Chapel (Episcople).
