Strange internet or & TV forum ?

 

Yesterday I can see your two photos but not today ..

 

Two days ago I was cycling ;

on rd 3015 which is between Ban Lao and Wanon Niwat ; I think it's an old Wat ( with a radio station ! )

 

[gobs]

Good area for a ghost movie, AT!

 

[Assurancetourix]

Don't know if it's a " Red" radio station  ;

Another photo shot  through a grill ; it's in another building on the right side of the Wat

Wat Phra That Phanom

Wat Phra That Phanom is the sacred precinct of the Phra That Phanom chedi, located in the district of the same name, in the southern part of Nakhon Phanom Province, northeastern Thailand. According to legend, this structure contains The Buddha's breast bone, and as such, it is one of the most important Theravada Buddhist structures in the region.

Maybe Jimmy wanted to write " nices images Shaggy " ?

 

I like to go to That Phanom ;

it's because one of my daughter is working there in an annex of the hospital, not far from the Wat Shaggy shot ( and me, too )

Maybe he did,maybe he didn't!

 

But I am saying 100%, 'I really like those last two pics of yours'!

 

Have only seen That Phanom on a dismal, rainy day.Nice to see it under a different light!

[Assurancetourix]

Thank you very much  Shaggy

Your welcome ATX

 

I like the 3rd image of that last set you posted,the contrast of the white Chedi against the blue sky is really nice.

 

Just out of curiosity,what did the 1st & 2nd image look like,before you edited them?

[Assurancetourix]

edited ?

I don't think so;

but often I must edite a post because my " copy/paste" function doesn't work well;

often I past the photo I have copy in the post before, ;

for example, in the lign "vehicles" I have copy a photo of bicycles and thought I past that photo but seeing my reply I saw a photo of the Wat of That Phanom..

Don't know why my computer works like that.

[shaggy1969]

My apologies ATX! What I meant was, the editing on the photograph itself.What did it look like before you edited it?

[Assurancetourix]

Sorry;

I understand now;

 

the first one " brut de pomme" as we say in french,

 

 

And the second

 

 

 

I did a little work but a quick one with FastStone

OMG! I must be getting old... another senior moment!  .... yes it was Shaggy's image! 

[shaggy1969]

Cheer Jim,will get you some new glasses,for Christmas!!!

 

ATX, This is only my personal thoughts,but for me you have lifted the shadows too high,to try and regain detail in the over underexposed areas of the first image.The second one looks fine (not edited),maybe just a bit of contrast and cropping.Would it be OK with you,if I had a go at editing the first image? If so then I can post it here or via a PM.........Also,if that is your style of editing and you like it that way,then I apologize and forget I ever mentioned anything.

Thanks again .

It is at Wat Sampaka, the small/medium size wat of my moobahn. It's usually very quiet, and, with all due respect,  it's like my playground there. I can spend 2 or 3 hours there just shooting this and that up to my mood...

I sometimes met with the "head monk" (in its middle age and very open minded) and had some quick gentle chats together. Monks like to know their neighborhood...

 

Another pic from Wat Sampaka:

 

 

Thanks for your interest, Shaggy
