Afternoon on River Ping

iPhone, auto

And here is this water magnetism again. No other camera with me, so iPhone was the only way to capture the moment. Cropped too much to be useful anywhere else, but it still holds in the 2048px width resolution.

So thanks to meetup.com/ we went to an evening stroll through the centre of Chiang Mai to learn some of the history of this place. Tomorrow I'm trying that pad thai Tony recommended!

Oh, and here's more pictures from this walk.

My God, it's full of stars!

Sometimes you take a photo, open it in Lightroom, and no matter how long you stare at it, you cannot think of any fitting title. I learned the hard way that this means the photo - though it may be technically perfect - is no good.

For this pic the caption came to me as soon as I saw the blue tint on the black-ish background. And it's a damn good pic! :)

Where's that carrot?

I visited the Chiang Mai Zoo this weekend. Pandas were adorable, but too far to get a good pic without a tele-lens. The rest was okay, but not that interesting - but it may be that the zoo lives another life in the wet season, when everything goes back to green.

So the catch of the day was a common goat. 

Mornings worth waking up to

My original plan was to post yet another Hong Kong pic today, but I woke up earlier and was hit with this magnificent sunrise.

Good morning Chiang Mai

iPhone, Camera+, auto

Sometimes you don't need a fancy camera, just be at the right place at the right time. This is how Chiang Mai, Thailand greeted me the morning after I arrived there.

The picture was taken with Camera+ 5 and edited on the phone.
