  1. Monet'esque, but I'm not convinced I like the post-processing. Hope you post more though!

    OK I got a bit bored with black silhouettes, so I thought I would just alter the highlights and shadows, sorry if you don’t like it, but it was my decision, I take it it was my post you were refering to, as you did not quote post.

  2. I have just finished painting my ceilings,I was going to go for TOA, but was shown the Dulux supashield Duraclean at a cheaper price than the TOA so I went for the Dulux.

    Painted one ceiling and noticed it was a like a semi gloss although it said matt on the tub.

    When the light from the windows light up the ceiling it looks a mess, every little mark shows up.

    Now Toa do a similar one I think it superclean and that was just the same, so I went for a bog standard matt and am quite happy with it.

  3. Only 0.4 , I need an aspirin

    umm I don't get it..{"

    OK,it might just be my sense of seeing things in an odd sort of way.( Exchange Kiosk)

    Russian ruble now only 0.4 to the baht, used to be the currency Thailand Loved, now all the Russian signs are being changed over to Chinese, even condo for sale in Chinese.

  4. Carrying on down the road I got a look down a 'field' to the paddy in the valley and wondered how they got water up from the stream down in the gully in the foreground to flood the paddy.

    I turned around, back through the gate and followed the stream up to where there had been a small dam built of sticks and stones.

    All was then revealed as the dam was the start of a race that had been dug in the hillside to direct water down to the paddy. What looked like a track at the top of the first photo was in fact this race carried on all the way down the valley.

    Back at he bottom of the village everyone had gone up to the school to the giving out of the things we had brought and I was able to take some photos of a couple of the houses, such as they are.

    We later found out that this badly arranged pile of sticks and flattened out bamboo with a corrugated iron roof is the home for a family with 4 kids and a grandmother.

    As there was nobody home I was able to have a look inside at their total worldly goods, puts a whole new meaning on poverty. We found out later that his family had no food and we gave them everything we had including things they had never seen before like bread, jam and a packet of spaghetti. We had to tell them what to do with them.

    Till tomorrow.

    That last one brought a lump to my throat.

    Thanks for the insight that most dont see.
