Stop, Drop ... and Rolling home

I suppose this warrants some explanation. People burn a lot of trash here, so we didn't think the smoke drifting in our office windows. However, while biking home, we came up the crest of the hill from our office, and found it to be engulfed in an abnormal amount of flame.

For all intents and purposes though, this was technically a controlled burn. Apparently fire is a great way of clearing brush...

Happy Birthday RC

Long Live the King

I've been a little delayed in my posts as I've been tied down with traveling to Bangkok for some Visa work. Here are a few images I shot during celebration of the King's birthday this month.




Traditional Mon danceing.





The King is an eclipseingly significant public and political figure for Thailand's population. He’s also the longest ruling monarch of any country (correct me if I'm wrong...).

Oddly....not to undersell the holiday, or the amount of festivity actually exhibited, but the entire night's events seemed a little underwhelming compared to the sweeping multi-day bonanza undertaken by other cities throughout Thailand. It might just happen to be that since we're so far out on the edge, people don't get quite as built up...that, or the real die hard fans had already gone to bed.
