The rocket parade in our village today, collecting money before the competition this weekend.

Where are the crowds!!?

Was planning on passing through your village tomorrow. Hope they can shoot straight.......ooops I just saw the date. They should be out of ammunition then.

These things are going on everywhere this time of year. Saw one rocket go up this evening before the storm hit. It was East of us toward the mountains. If you do stop by, we promise not to shoot you.

Hope all this shooting is finished before the middle of June.....would hate to lose the wife....

Losing her.Too good to lose as it took me 52 years to find her and don't want to go through that again.

Wonderful Photo . I would have loved to have seen that with my own eyes at the time but thanks to you we get to see now .

Just back from a little ride, where I snapped this decorative hilltop during one of my rest stops.

At the same place, on a hilltop between Phaya Mengrai and Baan Taa.

A morning walk in the park

Not a new shot but very cheerful. Shot from the backside of the village pond, overlooking the fields in Phaya Mengrai.

Now I know why you MTB in the surrounding hills. Looking for that pot of gold, Oh and if you find it, its mine, as I lost it awhile back

[harrry]

you lost it....I've let a few fortunes slip through my fingers.

Just do not trust those leprechauns when you bend over to pick up the gold at the end of the rainbow.

[kevjohn]

From the photos that I see posted, I don't think that rainbow would have a problem finding a "Pot of Gold"

I have definitely lost it mate

[villagefarang]

It looked all the world like these two guys were fishing by hand. The one guy would standup after a brief period and start transferring fish from his pocket to the bag being held by his friend. Saw a few slip from his hand during transfer.

Of course my guess would be that he has traps setup in the shallows just before the falls but still it was interesting to watch for a few minutes as I took a break from riding.

Here is another example of why I enjoy living in Chiang Rai.

I like the fact that other people farm, not me, but mostly I like being able to ride around on the dirt trails the farmers use to get to their fields.

Here is another Chiang Rai trail shot.

Another stormy evening as we transition from the dry season to the rainy season here in Chiang Rai.

Taking my daily walk in the in Chiang Rai.

I love the sky this time of year.

VF, beautiful sky images ! ! ! Do you use a polarizing filter or does your camera process these great skies with it JPEG processing?

With a point and shoot Canon S90 there are no removable lenses or filters. I shoot in RAW and process in Aperture on my Apple computer. The sensor has developed some bad pixels so I am looking around at what to buy next. I am leaning toward the NEX 6 or 7, though I haven’t seen a seven in the shops yet.

I saw some really amazing sky images driving to and from town the other day but couldn’t find a convenient and uncluttered vantage from which to capture them. I guess I am lucky I live where I do. It makes it so easy to capture these amazing images on the rare occasions where they present themselves.

Oh, and thank you. I am glad you like them.

[villagefarang]

It can be like watching a movie as the view changes from moment to moment.

Yes, the skies are quite remarkable. I really like the deep blues of your skies. Keep sending these wonderful shots and we will continue to enjoy them!

[villagefarang]

Perhaps it is time for one more shot from the trail.
