We had a good time!
And I like the book very much! Titled ZOMO - features photographs taken by Jurgen Lehl, a Tokyo-based German designer, capturing the influence of water on the landscape along the Indus River in the mountains of northern India and Pakistan.
And I have added one more photo to share. A black iron mosquito coil burner also by Jurgen Lehl I bought a while ago. Made by shaping thin iron sheets by hammering, then blackening them by burning. Thinly coated by beewax to prevent rusting, and the handle-bar allows for easy carrying. Made in Madagascar. It makes burning mosquito coil a cool thing to do, isn't it? HAHAHA!!!
