Elderly street seller

My computer has died and is still at the hospital and only have a few photos on my laptop - most of which I have already posted.This photo of an elderly woman in Dalat is one that is our most poignant photographs.

My daughters were terribly worried about her being out on the street in her condition - she was very bent over and stiff. They wanted to know why she wasn't at home being looked after. Maybe this is what she wanted to do? But I'm sure if she had someone to care for her, they would have. The Vietnamese people honour and look after their old.

New shoes??

It's not only tourists who get sore feet in the quiet highland town of Dalat, in Southern Vietnam.

Hanoi seniors

In Vietnam the elderly are respected by all, and their age is seen as a sign of wisdom.
