18. Dogs of Vietnam
Slideshow
For some reason I found myself taking a picture of nearly every dog we happened upon probably because 40 years ago, pretty much the only dog you saw was on the menu

19. Panoramic Photos
I also took an occasional series of photographs with the intent that I would "stitch" them together into a panoramic image when I got back. You can see the results of that on the Panorama Photos page. Some of them turned out pretty good, others not so much.
The series I took at the former location of the 543rd Transportation Co turned out the best, I think.
