Look the other way!

This one is a lazy camera play during an evening snack (delicious fresh fish BTW). I like the bokeh and the boy's face expression. In reality he went for a ball, but it looks like he's after the flower :)

Something abstract

Once in a while I get the urge to take on something more abstract. This time it is the bokeh of scales of a naga dragon, like the one below:

It's a tail!

I am not sure how the sculpture is made, but - given the design is pretty popular across Thailand - I am guessing that it must be a pretty routine job to "engrave" the scales.

Warm evening

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.

Chopsticks

Something else entirely. Most (if not all) of my pictures are either landscapes, cityscapes or street photography. But sometimes everyday objects arranged carefully for display make a "landscape" you cannot miss with your camera.

And for the record: I love chopsticks. Bamboo chopsticks. Not those reusable plastic counterfeits. Seeing such a variety was a pleasure to the eye and a reminder of well deserved tom yum.
