Today’s photo from the hip is by Molly. She snapped this shot while walking down the sidewalk in Hoi An, Vietnam. I like how despite it being a busy street, you can’t see a car in sight (aside from the buses in the background).

Thanks, Molly!

Today’s photo from the hip is from Malacca, Malaysia. The town is known for it’s beautiful (and gaudy) rickshaws. Every rickshaw we saw was decked out in silk flowers, bright colors, and sometimes even a stereo.

I snapped this photo from the hip because I couldn’t bear to not document the heavily decorated rides, but didn’t want to start a bidding war with the operators. They were out of my price range!

Today’s photo from the hip is from Luang Prabang, Laos. I could have probably stopped to frame a proper photo, but I didn’t want to make Mike stop again… and I didn’t want to give the vendor a chance to catch me. I did, however, end up buying a similar print to these later that evening at the market. I guess I was primed.

Today’s photo from the hips comes from Elin at Taste of Slow. Have you checked out her travel + vegetarian food blog yet?

Elin submitted another photo that she took while visiting the fishing village of St. Louis, Senegal. (See the first one here!) I love the women’s dresses, especially the blue and white one. Plus, that goat… he’s obviously a looker.

 

Thanks, Elin!

Today’s photo from the hip comes from Nicole at La Vie en Rose.  She recently spent four weeks studying abroad in Tours, France. I think I will forever be jealous of people who took advantage of their study abroad opportunities!

Nicole submitted this photo that she took from a fence above the Seine in Paris. I wonder how Patrick and Basia are doing these days?

Thanks, Nicole!
