@jillscene has been an inspiration to me with her risks in writing and joy in the journey. Thanks Jill for being one of my 100 beauty splashes.
I do hope all will be well for Thailand. The bombing was awful but your photos are reassuring in that they display the ordinary scenes of daily life which will persist and prevail. Love the pomegranate display and the grilled bananas.
Thanks Pauline, I tried to catch the character of each one of these people. My connections with them was fleeting, of course, but I did appreciate their willingness to serve me despite the difficulty communicating with me. And they were kind to me, something that I appreciate more and more, especially when I’m in a foreign country.
Oh, Jill I have missed your/our travels, but I didn’t expect my return would be during such sadness. Thank you for these beautiful pictures of hope. I am looking forward to catching up again. xox.
As soon as I heard this news, I thought of you and your travels and the stories you have shared. Years ago, this would just be sad news. Today, I feel closer and I feel this sadness a little deeper. Thanks for sharing these photos again Jill.
That is what is so good about the blogosphere, Dan – the interconnections around the globe.They stand for something, something stronger than terror and fear.
Such a vibrant city. Such a gorgeous country. This tragedy isn’t only theirs but, like any senseless violence (and when is violence *not* senseless?), belong to the world.

Hello Gallivanta, Perhaps one day I’ll post the photo of the pomegranate vendor in colour – they were the most luscious of reds.

I think kindness is catching Jill, even without a common language you can sense when a person is kind and to be trusted.
