It is always stressful to know that one of our own might be in harms way and am relieved to hear you and yours are okay. Stay safe my friend.

Terrible news Michael, that is not the Thailand I remember from my visits.
I am glad you and your family were not in Bangkok at the time.

I hope they catch the ones who are responsible.

Brad, thanks for your concern and I agree this is not that Thailand I remember 20 years ago when I settled down

Michael, you are more up to date than the news we are getting here.
I just saw on our Channel 7 news, they are showing blurry photos of someone with a yellow shirt, they say that person was seen to leave a backpack at the Shrine just before the explosion.
If they have caught four people that are responsible, it is good news.

This mis the photo they show, but the news shows that they have some suspects

I'm so sorry this happened in your beautiful country.

Keep posting your wonderful pictures so that we can all concentrate on the positive!

 

[Michael J.]

Sometimes when life is going too busy I will go to a temple and try to relax.

At the temple near my home (
Wat Saman Rattanaram is located in Bang Kaeo district of Chachoengsao. The temple is situated near the Bang Pakong Dam, north of Chachoengsao. The temple features a giant reclining image of Ganesha, the Elephant God, said to be the largest of Thailand. The statue of the Hindu deity measures 16 meters high and 22 meters long. Near the premises is a floating market selling a variety of food.)


More photos to come when finished pp

At the temple near my home - It was crowded and very quite dark, no flash allowed and for the 35mm to narrow as well. So the Sigma 10-20 was on my D7000

Michael,I really enjoy looking at your pictures. It is like getting a nice vacation to another country and it's free. What more could I ask for?
