2004 TSUNAMI REMEMBERED

Today, 26 December, Don and I send our love to all those who lost family and friends in the tsunami ten years ago. We share their pain; remember the day that brought so much destruction to the regions in the Indian Ocean. From our breakfast table on the beach we saw the giant wave approach. We had an easy escape.

Death Mattress

A floating mattress from a bed in our hotel, Le Meridien Khao Lak, Thailand. Bright sun and sharp shadow deceive us. The mattress is floating on a 4- or 5-metre wave of muddy water and debris that drowned all those on the ground level and level one of the hotel, all those who were having a relaxing morning in their beds after a wild and joyous Christmas party at our hotel the night before.
