Golden Buddhist Sculptures

We'd love some of these for our personal collection. Unfortunately they reside at the Prince of Wales Museum in Mumbai.

A Peaceful Morning...

Details of... Hieroglyphics

Pink in Yaffo

Took a stroll through Yaffo (Ha'armon st.) and found this interesting architectural phenomenon. A flat and simple elevation with a laced wall -mashrabiya- creates an inner courtyard used for circulation. Cool, no?

Urban Bangkok

We discovered a multi-layered city. Floating highways and hidden shrines, exalted royalty plastering the billboards and taxi boats roaring through the back street canals.

The King and I.

One afternoon at the movies, we were taken aback when after the previews had finished the entire audience suddenly stood. The national anthem began to play alongside flashing images of the King in his youth. We stood too, paying our respects.






Next to the ferry pier food stalls hide from the monsoons.
