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!
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! :)
It was a night when it rained, stopped, rained again, and so on. During a brief break (or actually during a lighter rain) I managed to set up a tripod and get this shot.
Modern city, known mostly from Petronas Twin Towers landmark, pretty clean for asian standards. But every city needs a green refuge, a park, garden, or - like in this case - a mosque with surroundings designed to escape the midday heat. Or to spend lovely evening just walking around.
To me, this picture could be of a palace garden of 1001 nights.
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.
