Added to my Flickr Favorites this morning. I had almost given up even looking for new photos, but this caught my attention. It was taken in the Maldives, a tourist destination in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives is the smallest Asian country in terms of both population and area; it is the smallest predominantly Muslim nation in the world and their constitution precludes non-Muslims from voting. It is also the country with the lowest highest point in the world. Just a coincidence . . . geography having nothing to do with it.

This is a powerful picture. Had you not told where it is, I would guess somewhere in India or Cuba. But one of those you don’t vote at all and the other you have to be the right caste. It just goes to show good pictures can be taken in backward countries.
