Sadly true pretty much everywhere, isn't it? Nice pics, Jorgen.Often, when I walk around in Bangkok, I think about a sentence that I read in a book about this city once: "Until the seventies, the temples were the landmarks of Bangkok." There are other temples nowadays

Yes, it's true for most cities, but in Bangkok, the "Commercial Takeover" came rather late compared to western countries. However, when it arrived, some parts of this city were, and still are, completely destroyed without any proper planning or infrastructure. A few years ago, the even tore down one of the most prominent and most beautiful examples of contemporary Thai architecture, The Siam Intercontinental Hotel, built as late as the mid-seventies. Why they did that? To build a giant shopping mall, a huge, ugly bunker of steel, concrete and a tiny bit of glass, in an area where the malls were standing more or less wall-to-wall anyway.Sadly true pretty much everywhere, isn't it?

Yes, I remember that place. I never stayed there myself, but my sister and her husband did, as did a number of friends, each of whom lamented its demise.Yes, it's true for most cities, but in Bangkok, the "Commercial Takeover" came rather late compared to western countries.

Nice colours, but you have white dust on your sensor. Probably a defective camera, but just send it to me. I've heard that this kind of white dust disappears magically in tropical climateSame toy, err, tools ... :ROTFL:
