Historical snapshots...Vietnam


Old photographs and maps. 
Hard to resist.
I walked into a shop in Ho Chi Minh City,
and spotted a stack of photographs tucked away 
in the back of the shelf. 
I pulled it out, sat down on a little stool 
and slowly took each one in.
I selected my favourites.

A snapshot of history..
Photograph of Ho Chi Minh...1951
Photograph of Richard Nixon on visit to Vietnam...1953
Landscape scenes...time and location uncertain.
Map of Vietnam...1976

It's the little things...
