Sa Pa Town Square, Lao Cai Province, Vietnam.This photograph is taken at a reasonably high altitude, but I cannot be sure if the mist is actually a mist, fog, or clouds (or whether such distinction is superfluous). I believe the star represents the star in the centre of the Vietnamese flag, though at the time and afterward, I did not have the opportunity to find out. The single, thin pole rising from the centre of the star appeared to be for a flag, but yet again, the mist and the language barrier rendered any proof impossible. The whole spectacle was quite dramatic, with the 'flag pole' providing a beautiful line of symmetry and juxtaposition - dwarfed as it was by the powerful and hard lines of the stone paving. The place seemed shrouded literally and metaphorically in mystery.
