The fountain - The inward flowing water of the fountain was used for two reasons. Water is known as the symbol of life and wealth in Chinese culture, and the inward motion of the water symbolizes the retention of wealth

Re: The Other Day

Some photos from the other day I took. At that place, I used my Nikon 16-85mm the idea in my mind getting an Ultra Wide Angle was so strong. Maybe one day I come back to that place again and can take shots I wanted to do the other day.

I know that street vendor's chicken shop for almost 14 years. Every time I pass it, the owner let me try some chicken. I tell you my friends they're delicious.

Walking around you can see lots of things. Yesterday I saw that someone has forgotten his half car

Thank you so much

It looks like. I think I try to see Thailand in a different way and thats why my photos show this as well
Do you have the recipe for those chickens?
Not really. All I know is that every chicken griller uses their own recipes. All I know is that those chicken I posted are oiled with a tasty coconut butter made by them self. There are also great herbs inside but I don't know which one they make a big secret about their recipes

On the way to our "House temple of Banbueng" I enjoy really the urban environment. Nothing that is so exiting and wows but it is something special for me.

A dead tree doesn't bother anyone

Suddenly, the environment get more friendly. A small pond gives the energy which the environment needs

Farmers around the area plant Sugarcane

Sometimes when I am at this temple, a feeling comes up which is hard to describe. It is as I can feel my soul so close and my heart stands still. Sadness and happiness are coming together at once as bitter sweet pain. Tears flowing down my cheek. Can't tell why but it makes me so refreshed and strong.

Here the morning sun is coming up and shines all over the place.
