Leif: These are great. That first one's spectacular! :thumbup:Stay away a couple of days and the good shots just pile up ...
Love the cub(s) and; that secret trout pond ...
More cloudy from me and the S5

Jorgen: Hard to believe that's right in the city. Beautiful color and composition. I hope you stuck around to rescue those two boys after the motor boat's wake swamped them. :thumbup:Occasionally, I stumble over ignorant foreigners who make me aware of the fact that there are still unused areas in Bangkok, like canals and parks, that could be used for roads, making room for even more cars in this city. Removing those foreigners from Bangkok, along with McDonalds, KFC, 7Eleven and a few other establishments would probably be a better idea, to make room for more water and more boats.

Tim: I love the color, the scrapes in the paint, and the nail heads (?). Nicely composed. :thumbup:One more of the old boats. A metal skiff that's seen a few paint jobs and a few drags over the rocky shore.
Jason: +1, Very beautiful. :salute:
Thanks Matt. That's right, the franchises are mostly owned by locals. They are trying to set a new world record with regards to 7 Eleven. I believe they are past 6,000 shops already. There are three within 100 meters from where my father lives, and they sell mostly junk food.
Yes! Awesome Leif!
Nice texture,color & comps Tim!One more of the old boats. A metal skiff that's seen a few paint jobs and a few drags over the rocky shore.

Perfect day for trout fishing in one of my favorite "secret" ponds.
There were lots of wriggling Brook Trout and some good vibrations!
Just Fantastic Work!!!:salute:just got back from two weeks in the Baltic.
Got lots to catch up on here, but for now...
Thank you sir!
Beautifully cuddly shot Matt. From a distance I am sure!:thumbup:Back to processing some old bear photos. Mama bear and two cubs. She's very used to the zodiac. We weren't a threat! A male grizzly, on the other hand...Thanks for looking. Cheers, Matt.

Jorgen, now you are in your element my friend. Brilliant shots for composition, color, environs, execution and presentation. Great stuff.:salute:Occasionally, I stumble over ignorant foreigners who make me aware of the fact that there are still unused areas in Bangkok, like canals and parks, that could be used for roads, making room for even more cars in this city.

Your narration of the nostalgic tale of the boats and ponds of the Maine wilderness is very evocative, Tim.Occasionally I find myself playing with a photo that won't mean much to anyone but me. This is one of the old boats that fisherman have carried into any one of a hundred little trout ponds in the wilderness of Maine. They get portaged in and left there for the next trip. Some of them have been there for many years, summer and winter. Whenever I make the trip into one of those ponds, I see them. Battered and, in some cases, un-floatable. Reminders of many fishing trips made into these remote ponds by strangers, some of which are probably no longer afloat themselves!
Masterful shot.Here's another road. Today's panning practice.

Jorgen: There aren't that many 7 Elevens around here! That's The American way; we export our worst bits to the third world (and what used to be the third world). The highway thing is what happened to Los Angeles. The auto and oil industry got PG & E (rail/street cars) shut down to support the automobile culture. In seattle, we're spending billions of dollars to get a transit system that won't be as efficient as the one we had 80-90 years ago.Thanks Matt. That's right, the franchises are mostly owned by locals. They are trying to set a new world record with regards to 7 Eleven. I believe they are past 6,000 shops already. There are three within 100 meters from where my father lives, and they sell mostly junk food.
As for the roads, the story I've heard is that they had some western advisers during the fifties and sixties. One of the advices they got was to close down local railways and build roads instead, and they did actually make roads where some of the most important canals were. The result is a never ending traffic jam 24/7, which is also the opening hours of the convenience stores. You never run out of traffic and junk food in Bangkok
Cheers, Matt.Jorgen: Pizza and auto racing. Pizza from the US; auto racing from Europe. Nice shot. :thumbup: How fast are they going?Here's another road. Today's panning practice.

Steve/Rayyan: Thank you, gentlemen!
We kept getting closer. At one point, one of the cubs tried to come out and visit. We backed off.Corlan: Thanks. Much appreciated!
