Not living on the edge as in poverty, or as in all the violence that seems to envelope the world these days though there are obvious parallels to the life and future of this flower I captured living in a crack in the limestone rock of one of the karst islands of Phang Nga Bay.
As I mentioned yesterday, the rain in Phang Nga Bay was a short lived event. In today's photo the visibility is opening up though I can't say if this was because the shower was moving away from us or we were moving away from the shower.
The overcast skies and the anxious look to the right by my fellow passenger (yesterday's photo) heralded the arrival of a shower in Phang Nga Bay.
Emerging from the hong into Phang Nga Bay it became clear we needed to get to the boat, and quickly.
Emerging from the serene jade green of the hong, it was a tad surprising to see the overcast skies of the world outside.
In most cases, the way out of a hong is just the reverse of the way in but some have more than one route.
