Perfect shot, perfect place. Never mind the car; they make new ones every second. A scenery like this takes a million years to make.

Beauty Contest...?

The Royal Mail issued a new set of stamps yesterday, featuring famous British steam locomotives. They decided to do a publicity shoot incorporating the world's newest steam locomotive (LYD - steamed on 5 August) and the men who built her...

I wasn't doing the shoot myself - just taking the opportunity to grab a few shots for the FR Magazine whist chaperoning the pro hired by the GPO.

We were both shooting at the same time, he was using fill-in flash, I wasn't. But I got the benefit of his flash on one shot... How about that for timing!

Matt,
I believe LA was indeed the "success" they were going to copy. They are still building motorways in a desperate attempt to solve the problem, but the City of Bangkok can't take any more cars, and more motorways, while solving some problems, generates even more traffic. Investments in public transport is lagging so far behind that the best solution would probably be to build a new capital and start from scratch. That has been discussed, and sooner or later, it will happen.

There's an interesting (American) story behind Pizza Company. The owner, Bill Heinecke, had the franchise for Pizza Hut in Thailand, starting the first restaurant in 1980. Around ten years ago, when Pizza Hut became greedy and wanted a larger piece of the cake, it took him one month to change all restaurants to Pizza Company. Pizza Hut then had an 80% market share. Now they are fighting for a share of the 30% that is left after Pizza Company's 70%.

Mr. Heinecke, a Thai Citizen since 1991, also owns the franchises for Swensen's, Sizzler, Dairy Queen and Burger King through Minor Food Group as well as a few hotels in the region (Four Seasons, Marriott Resort & Spa and Anantara). It's an impressive story, and although they mostly sell junk food (my definition), it's high quality junk. Even I eat at Burger King occasionally, but if you see me at McDonald's, you know the end is near

Jorgen: Thank you for the follow-up. Well, we're all on the same sinking ship. Burma (Myanmar) built a new capital to get away from the people. Probably be attractive to the Thai Government, also.

Woody/Jorgen/Leif/Rayyan/Tim/John: A little tardy, again. Beautiful, individually unique, work posted, above. A lunchtime, online, "master's course" in photography for me! Thanks, for sharing. Cheers, Matt.
