Banyan Tree Spirit, originally uploaded by askthemoon.

I'm reading Vaddey Ratner's memoir of Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge in the 1970's. "In the Shadow of the Banyan" describes her family's gentle life of intellectual pursuit before it was swept away by the atrocities of that regime. It reminds me of Dr. Zhivago.
