Vietnam Abstract

 

Maybe there's something wrong with my brain, (yes, you can keep your sarcastic thoughts to yourself) but every time I see this slide image, it takes me a few seconds to process the image and understand what / where / what's in front of what / etc.

The Mighty Mekong

Maybe not the Mekong River, but that was my first thought.

Frankly, just in from work, and geographical accuraccy is not high on my priorities.

Bonus -

Vietnamese Street Market

Vietnam is my guess, but frankly it's anyone's guess. It could be the Tuesday Flea Market at Allenton (Derby, UK) for all I know.

Bonus -

Daddy's Back

A little moment of history.

Deeply significant for husband, wife and son involved, but totally irrelevant to everyone else in the photo (and modern viewers as well. Probably)

Yes, that does appear to be a Boeing 727 in the background.

Bonus -

A Load of Seamen

From a bunch of slides from the mid fifties, some of which were marked "French Indochina", so this does possibly mark the start of the Vietnam War.

Historic Stuff.
