Back in Business :)
Bouncing back from the boxing holiday tsunami of 2004, Karon beach, one of the heavily damaged by the Indian Ocean earthquake, the tourism business is booming once again.

Quote of the Day:
"The photographs are not illustrative. They, and the text, are coequal, mutually independent, and fully collaborative. By their fewness, and by the importance of the reader’s eye, this will be misunderstood by most of that minority which does not wholly ignore it. In the interests, however, of the history and future of photography, that risk seems irrelevant, and this flat statement necessary." -Walker Evans

Nice composition with a very blue sky Freddie.
The beach looks inviting at the end of the boardwalk.
I wonder what the surf is like there?
Cheers,
Steve

Good saturation and metering, good composition/ placement of horizon and tree. I'm not so fussed about the half-tree down the right edge of the frame, but otherwise - great work!
