A cook ladles soup made in a comically giant cauldron in Albertville, France.

The reason I was in Albertville was the annual Grand Bivouac, a festival for travelers by travelers. At the festival, there are travel documentary and film screenings as well as talks and exhibits shown by some extreme voyagers who, often times, live or travel in harsh and unforgiving circumstances during their trip abroad. Unfortunately, all the talks are given in French, hence, I was unable to attend any of them but I did enjoy the ambiance of being among like-minded international travelers.

For the record, I had a bowl of the soup and yes, it was quite chunky and warming on a cold autumn day.

47 Bright Photo: Often, I wander around Seoul, or any city for that matter, with no particular photographic goal or attraction in mind. Locals generally think I'm mad to walk for 5 or 6 hours a day when I can hail a taxi and not besmirch the high respect unduly granted to foreigners for no other reason than their being foreign. Some days I come home with terribly unusable photographs and calluses covering my feet. Other days, my compact flash card spilleth over and calluses cover my feet. On this particular day, I returned home with only three usable images that I rolled up into one multi-image composite.
