bprinceuk Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thank you for sharing, great shots and some beautiful scenery. Chiang Rai was on my list of places to visit, after seeing your photographs it has just moved up to the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 It was raining when I got up and remained cloudy for a while but it ended up being a great day for a bike ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 My lovely wife had the bright idea to go for a drive along the Mekong River today. We stopped at a cute little coffee shop on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Later we drove up a very steep road on the mountain above the coffee shop on the recommendation of the shop owner. Beautiful views of the Mekong looking back toward Chiang Khong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I am watching this guy grow several inches per day. It is now up to the roof so I may have to find a way up on to the roof to take a picture when it finally blooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 This is the second time I have seen this cactus bloom recently. The flowers don't last very long so you have to catch them in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 I was up at our local reservoir again today and thought I may as well take a couple of pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 These are two shots taken a few months apart but at the same location. I put up with the first view so I can enjoy the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangaroa67 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I was up at our local reservoir again today and thought I may as well take a couple of pictures. I've photographed this location myself. I'd post pics, but I don't wish to hijack your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also a little surprised that anyone else has been there as it is a very local sort of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kind of lose there meaning if one feels obligated to like everything. Thanks for this more personal note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangaroa67 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Thanks, @villagefarang ...yes, it's certainly NOT on the beaten path, but I like to explore, haha! Actually, I found it on whilst looking for areas of dark sky around Chiang Rai (there aren't many). The first image I made when I first went to scout the location. I arrived around noon, so the light is awful, but I love those submerged trees! The second image was actually my first attempt at astro-photography, and I made a lot of mistakes. I'll have to go back as I think I'd make a better job of it now.By the way, that glow on the horizon is light-pollution from the city of Chiang Rai some 35km distant. Luckily for you, it's almost imperceptible to the naked eye :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 I wanted some exercise today but it was late and I didn’t feel sharp enough to be out on the bike, so I went for a walk. It was extremely hot but just too beautiful to stay indoors. Besides I absolutely love the clouds at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 ^^^^^ Have you used a polarizer on them last 3 shots? No polarizer, just shot them with my old NEX-6. I did cook them in Apple’s Photos on my iMac before serving them up, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Lots of activity in the fields these days. Everyone is rushing to get their rice planted and I am guessing they will be finished by the time our friends arrive on Monday. The feeding area for the birds is shrinking by the day. The open billed stork is so graceful in flight and I will miss seeing them everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhythmworx Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 VF you posted a shot some years ago that was a total green landscape with a clay road running through it (you took it from the roadside) Post that again please, was one of the most memorable shots I've seen on here.
