I have to wonder if people become their place's?.... stunning portrait!
He's perfectly himself.
Watercats, I suspect people and their places often affect each other far more deeply than we realise, and it's not purely a matter of how long they've co-existed. I sometimes wonder how much of me remains in places like Kileshwar (for example), and how much returned with me to the Pohangina Valley. Thanks!
Zhoen, yes. I wish I could have talked with him in his language.
