I am Jimmy. It was very scary up there.

Closer to the ground, it's nice to see the roots coming through the asphalt.

VF, really like your work. You mentioned recently that you were working on your composition and it really shows. Also, really good color and sharpness.

Thanks but I suspect it has more to do with the new camera than it does me.

The thing that gets me, is how much Google degrades images when converting them to their online albums.

Are you sure you are using the sRGB colorspace and converting to 8-bit before exporting. You also may need to do some output sharpening or maybe even color calibrate your display. You can color calibrate your display (MAC) with the supplied utilities in the system preference for displays.

I am already using sRGB for proofing and have the monitor set to the same.

We bought peaches in glass jars and they were quite good. Doi Angkhang has strawberries, peaches, plums, kiwi and all kinds of interesting fruits and vegetables but they were not in season while we were there.

We have a great crop of storks here this year.

Just starting to wake up as the first rays of the sun peep over the horizon.

^ do the Storks bring babies? Robby.... .... sorry could not resist that!

Coconut trees through my porch blinds today!

Hope not Jimmy, been there done that and don't need a repeat performance.

Tell you what though, I can sell you cuttings of that tree for a very reasonable price.

Got to warn you though that it takes quite a few years before they produce storks, let alone babies.

No idea what thread to put this under but I guess this is close enough! Had a wonderful hot cup of tea this morning while the mist hung over this tea plantation in Chiang Rai.

Dirt bike heaven.

The tea farms up north look very well kept, I have not been to any in Thailand, only in the Cameron Highland north of KL, which is well looked after... great tea and scones !

The other was in Sabah State, which was a bit of a mess! I did not like their blends either!

Moving on, trees surrounding, Namuang waterfalls, Samui.
