On this first trip to the island I took a few days and went over to Koh Phi Phi – the Phi Phi islands – about 25 miles east-south-east of the town of Phuket. The photo below is one of the limestone outcrops that jut out of the Andaman Sea in this area.
I snapped this image of part of the Grand Palace in Bangkok while racing up the Chao Phraya as a passenger in one of those long-tail boats. Later in the day I went back to the Wat Phra Kaew which is in the north-east corner of the Grand Palace complex and open to the public and I’ll post some images from there in the coming days.
The relatively short dusk duration is captured in this image with the yellows of the setting sun to the west and the darkening skies of night to the east.
Doorways and window openings are set in the whitewashed walls. Periodically there are gaps in the roof that allow the passages to breathe and let in light.
I love the way the sun is lighting up the snow on the distant mountains, their ruggedness being apparent from the lines of light and dark.
