Thanks. That means a lot from such a great photographer! I had a hard time seeing what I was taking a photo but it helps that the scenery is so stunning.

Rachael, your photos are so beautiful!

At first I didn't recognize the book by the title you gave. I read it in French and always think of it that way, as L'Étranger. In Canada, I think the title of the English translation was The Outsider.

Well I’m impressed, Fenwick! That’s true - sometime earlier in the spring I think, though I don’t remember just when. I almost mentioned it myself. I really am going to have to start enunciating more clearly.

Looks gorgeous!

It seems to me you have pulled that beer ordering trick once before.

Always happy to help.

That’s the phrase I was searching for but couldn’t bring up. I kept getting stuck on six pack abs, which doesn’t really work.

Isn’t this a great entrance though? This is the best of it though. It’s not actually all that interesting on the other side.

I don’t think so. Other trees in the vicinity are not like this. I wonder if they were intentionally trained this way.

Funny observation. It looks like it’s just sprouting up from the jungle, but it’s a trick of the zoomed perspective. The green in the foreground is actually in the opposite side of the road.

It does have that look, doesn’t it? Not particularly elegant, really.

We did! I don’t know how I knew this but I was glad for it. I think The Stranger was the first Existentialist work I read, back in college.

You must have known this in advance? I didn’t know he was buried there. Good find!

If not before then there are some now.
