or, "c'est le mékong qui parle"
i've probably posted this pic before... i took it on the mekong river in 2008, then suped it up with iphoto's sepia button (i almost typed, "supia" button - hey, that works too). i can see the stylized images of clouds in asian art floating through this image. the only thing missing is the dragon!
and it's a fitting image for today because it's also the first image on a powerpoint i created for a presentation i'm giving tomorrow about marguerite duras, a french author born in colonial indochina in 1914, in whose writing - if you listen carefully - you can hear the murmur of the mekong. have you read the lover? if you haven't, put it on your list.
