Rust and blue collar industry pretty much sums up all of Pennsylvania. Really the only thing missing is a blast furnace.
SERIES POST #1: Of Looming Shadows
After a shameful drought of posts and an extremely overdue premiere of my 2009 Thailand Series, here it is. My FIRST group of shots. Some of these were done on my old and small point shoot. So the quality might be ‘eh’ and have some grain. But I posted anyway!
One of MANY buildings at The Grand Palace
Sunset at Temple Of The Dawn
3 Chedis
Windows of my ancestor’s tomb/shrine
What do you think this is?
The Bunnag Family Temple (Wat Prayurawong), if you go around the base of that chedi you an find a lot of my ancestors’ tombs and plaques. Shot at night from river (on boat).
Buddha and a little friendly visitor.
Sunset shot from ONE of Thailands Ancient capital cities. This is at the Ayutthaya Ruins. If I’m correct in my history, these ruins date back around the 1400’s. If you ever go, you MUST go both during the day as well as at night –the ruins are lit up at night and it offers a completely different experience.
John and I took a drive around the downtown area of Houston this passed Sunday. Here are some of the things we saw along the way.
Side note: I don’t know about you, but I’m noticing some serious softness/noise on the photos I’m taking with the D200. I don’t recall it being so obvious, however I do realize a few things were working against me, one of those being that most were taken while in a moving car. But still! Anyone else observe this? Maybe having had the chance to borrow a 300 and a 700 has unfortunately skewed my perspective…maybe.
