Hi There,
The Green Baron is back after a magnificent trip through Indochina. So now and then I had contact via e-mail or TL with TL-friends. What I have seen was wonderfull; the people I met very pleasant, the weather perfect, except for the centre of Vietnam which was prety wet. My meeting with Kilted-Arab was superb and also very wet meeting :-)The trip over the Mekong river in Laos and Cambodia stunning and Vietnam? A lovely country and very interesting sites as well. The oncoming days (weeks, months ????) I will come back with postings from my journey.

Here my first upload of my trip through Thailand were I started. This is one of the many temples I visited and pictured. The lush green, the striking red against the deep blue sky makes it worthy to post I think.

Later on I will come back with some more details about this site in Thailand.

PP-work: slight crop and adjusting the colour levels and contrast. Framed and add text.

'Wat Phra Kaew', betekend dat zoveel als "First of All',?
Dat was ook de tittle van het eerste album van Pussycat.
De beste.!
Mooie foto, Hans, Zeker weten dat er nog veel mooie zullen volgen.

Hey Big Fella! Good to see your first image, another 8,674 to go? :-) How many did you actually take in the end??

This is a lovely shot to begin with, you've controlled the light very well and avoided the "washed out sky" that can be so easy to catch when taking shots like this. The blue/gold/green colours work very well together. Very nice image!!

Lovely colour and light Hans. Well composed with the temple peeking out from the greens of the jungle. TFS and welcome back.

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Clearing Fog’

Beautiful colours and I love the POV, which definately makes the temple seem to be a natural part of the surrounding scenery - the temple and the jungle side by side.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Impressive view! I love that deco emerging from rich vegetal! That's excellent! Especially that the red and green give a good contrast together!

Beautiful temple, Hans. I like both views, with a preference for the ws version as it has a better view on the temple. This one is better for showing the vegetation, though the golden bits of the temple are a bit burnt. Why not combine the two shots in one collage, I wonder? ;o))

Sorry wasn't online for a while... just lost the mood... pretty dame down at the moment... I am sure you understand. Anyway... enough about me...

Gosh, I love all the shots so far those that I see... just can't believe how beautiful they are... :D excellent composition, I like the green against the "gold" and red... well captured my dear... :D Welcome back by the way (I know is a bit late to said that)...:D

Hello Hans,

I just noticed this in travelogue, and I think it is stunning! The colours and detail are exquisite. it is one of those photographs that the more you look at it the more you see.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip!

Ilya

Hello Hans, great photo & brings back memories. I was in Takhli, at the Royal Thai Air Force Base in 1965-66 while in the USAF. Some photos I took while there are here, http://www.takhli.org/gallery/ainsworth/index.html, if you care to check them out. They were scanned from slides & posted them in 2002. I was surprised they were still on the net. I liked it there & enjoyed the people which were very friendly.
Looks like a great photo op trip, I will be checking out your photos!
Take care :} Don

Hoi Hans,
Een mooie scherpe en zeer heldere foto van een pracht stukje architectuur. Het detail wat men altijd in dit soort gebouwen aanbrengt is erg bijzonder. Je crop naar een meer vierkant formaat is perfect, is positioneerd het gebouw perfect en geeft de best mogelijke vlakverdeling. Het rood van de tempel heef ook een erg mooi contrast met het vele tropische groen.
Groeten,
Niek

Nice picture friend!!!
im on vacations now so soon,my travelogue in Punta del èste and more places here in the east of Uruguay.
Happy new year to you,see you soon :)
