Vegetarian Festival

November 26, 2010

Taken last month during the annual Vegetarian Festival held predominantly in the southern provinces of Thailand. Specifically the Eiw Geng processions of San Jao Jui Tui in Suan Luang, Phuket Town and San Jao Guan Ou in Takuapa, Phang Nga. Exhilarating!

Around Penang, Malaysia

November 13, 2010

These were taken during a recent trip across the border to the island of Penang in Malaysia. A nice place to visit with plenty of things to intrigue visitors.  Among the sights I saw during my short time there were the beautiful national park on the northwestern tip of the island looking out toward the Strait of Malacca, white-sand beaches along the coast of Batu Ferringhi, a stunning temple on the hills of Air Itam with an amazing Guan Im statue that is still being completed, and plenty of interesting street life, Chinese temples, mosques, great food in Little India and historic architecture around every corner in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Georgetown.

Throughout the South

November 4, 2010

A glimpse of life during the last few months. Taken throughout home here in the southern region of Thailand including the provinces of Phang Nga, Surat Thani, Songkhla, Ranong, Phuket and Krabi.

In the Span of an Hour at Laem Panwa

September 13, 2010

Chillin’ out around Laem Panwa and atop Khao Khad in Phuket, one of my favorite areas of the island. A quiet and relaxing escape from the continual activity along the west coast with natural surroundings and scenic views. On this day, in the span of an hour, a menacing storm came over the hills and then moved out to sea. As I sat up there taking in the scenery, the native eagles circled about the hilltop and, as the storm pushed out to sea, a double rainbow (in fact, a faint triple) appeared and stretched from bay to bay. So intense!
