The Samlor Driver

The Samlor Driver, originally uploaded by HellonEarth2006.

Samlor s or 3 wheeled bicycle taxis are still to be found outside Bangkok. This guy was waiting for a customer in Samut Sakhon. They generally hang around the market there to take the locals and there market purchases home. Most of them seem to be older guys but they must be fit to do the job they do.

Look closely and you will see that this is not a B&W photo. Taken at the White Wat near Chiang Rai, this fascinating sculpture is by the side of the bridge leading into the wat. I dont know the significance of the hands or the red fingernail

Sunrise over the Creek

Sunrise over the Creek, originally uploaded by HellonEarth2006.

small creek in Bang Tao plays host to a number of fishing boats especially during the south east monsoon season. Dawn was bright and sunny on this day but it wasn't too long before I was huddled under a tree trying to keep myself and my gear dry. At least I kept my gear dry if not myself and arrived back home looking slightly bedraggled.

Wreck at Dawn

This old wreck of a fishing boat must have seen countless dawns as it slowly rots away at Layan in Phuket. I imagine that it will survive for many years to come disintegrating bit by bit from the effects of weather.

We were cruising back to our marina from Nai Harn on Phuket and it had been a beautiful day which was followed by an equally beautiful sunset. Sunsets in Phuket can be very spectacular and this one was no exception.

Clear view over Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong

Clear view over Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, originally uploaded by HellonEarth2006.

It is not that easy to get a good picture of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong mainly because the pollution is so bad. However this was one day when the smog cleared to reveal a stunning view from the Peak. The Peak is 552 metres above sea level.
