up to date with the tetanus shot, no worries mate

a more positive (well to me) shot of barb wire. this image is very australian to me, a segment of a rusty old leaning fence with long dry grass in the background. i took this the other week walking along the bay of fires with mands and my parents. we were all a bit scared there might be some snakes in the grass. i even jumped at a tiny lizard scurrying off the path at one point.

communist tv

this is a shot i took from a boat cruising through the mekong delta in southern vietnam. i was amazed that people even living in clearly abject poverty had both the money and inclination to buy a tv and some impressive aerials. then our guide informed us that the government installs a tv with a requisite aerial to ensure good reception in every home, and also provides all the programming, to reinforce government messages to the population.
