I wonder if Vietnamese culture has the same ethos. Probably, from the look of your photographs. There is a lot of money involved in some of these resting places. Although they are massive and very wide, they still only seem to be dedicated to an individual.<br /><br />The white etched cranes are very beautiful and must have taken a while to 'carve' into the granite.<br /><br />I have not delved much into the resting places of other cultures, Gemma, as often I am unable to read the language, and cannot research and understand enough. Power to you for this.<br /><br />Thanks for your continued contributions to Taphophile Tragics. If you are anything like me, you are already planning your post for next week. <br /><br />... *grin* ...Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467673506431999910.post-51122496490028244072012-02-28T06:42:03.912+11:002012-02-28T06:42:03.912+11:00Great series of photos.

I do need to check out the newest section in Mt.
