Popular Post villagefarang Posted February 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I considered posting this in the haze or Pm thread but settled on posting it here as this is an ever present sight this time of year in Chiang Rai. This was taken this afternoon in the front yard. There are usually a few of these everyday and a few more every night.

sceadugenga Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) I tried the macro button on my Canon the other day and wasn't all that impressed, my old Casio was far better, so I decided to try the iPad. Never been much of one for using gadgets as cameras but the iPad has a number of applications that make it an interesting photographic toy. We recently painted the gate and the paint has attracted ants, the black variety have one end and the larger reds the other. The reds stay put but defend their turf against the more territorially aggressive blacks. Edited February 18, 2013 by sceadugenga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 OK, it crossed my mind that i may have not worked the Canon Macro function properly and gave it a second chance. A much better result but practice still required. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villagefarang Posted February 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2013 As long as we are showing off Chiang Rai critters today, I just snapped a shot of this little guy in our yard. He only seems to be half dressed. Not sure who he thinks he is fooling with that camouflage. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villagefarang Posted March 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2013 Nearing the end of my 40k ride today, I decided to checkout our local rubber plantation, having not ridden through there for a while. There are many small groves up in the hills but this place is something like 8000 rai. There are trails everywhere and it is becoming an interesting place to ride, as the trees continue to mature. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toybits Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) This was taken in the Textile Museum at Chiang Rai Rajabhat University. If you are coming from the airport - heading towards Mae Sai, turn left into the University Avenue. Enter the University and drive down around 1/2 km. There is restaurant for students on the right hand side. The Textile Museum is located near the exit from the restaurant complex.

hmj Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Smoke is popular on thaivisa but smoke is not popular with the residents in the North.It is difficult to make an image showing smoke. Earlier this week I have found a burning tree at the edge of a forest in Wawi district.I decided to post an image to show the contrast between the normal green landscapewith blue sky and the smoke filled landscape at the end of the dry season. An obituary of the burning tree. The tree in the images, or at least part of the tree, is a strangling fig (Ficus).About half, of the 30 Ficus species in northern Thailand, are 'strangling' figs. Strangling or strangler figs start life as an epiphyte on a host tree. The seedsare dropped by birds which ate the figs and passed out the seeds unharmed. Theadvantage of starting higher up: more light is available than in the deep shadeof the forest floor. Once lodged on a host tree, the seed sends out roots which seek water and nutrientsas an epiphytic plant. When the roots touch the ground, they start drawing waterand nutrients more easily: the strangler starts growing as a tree. Over time the roots encircle the trunk of the host tree and self-graft under pressure.The roots thicken and become 'root stems' for their own crown. The trunk of the host tree cannot grow outwards anymore and is gradually 'ringed'.The strangler fig also competes for light and water and eventually kills the hosttree, leaving it standing with a hollow center. Fig tree wood has no commercial value and this strangler has survived the loggingwhich has removed or degraded the surrounding forest. Hill tribe farmers started to use the logged forest to cultivate crops. The spreadingcrown took away light for the crops below so they cut the branches. (The bamboo pegshammered into the large branches and the tied bamboo pole are visible.) Eventuallythe farmers decided to remove the tree by the only method available to them: fire. If the fields are left undisturbed for a long period of time, a secondary forest offast growing trees will develop. Strangling figs will colonize these trees and theircrowns will provide the shade for other rain forest trees to germinate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
