Excellant picture, love the framing and color contrast!

Thanks. Actually, my entire luggage for the month-long trip was a carry-on bag that weighed 16 lbs. Traveling light has become a way of life, almost. Spent a month in Papua New Guinea last year and again, one carry-on bag at 16 lbs. It is very liberating in some ways.
