Buildings & Temples

My attempt to capture building and temples - although I this would my third choice for photo subject after nature scenes (no wildlife though) and portraits.

Out the window of my condo in downtown BKK, 2012

Restroom in a park in northern Bangkok. Now that's cool!!. 

The most underrated aspect of BKK (Thailand as a whole) is it's art - in from decor to architecture to name a few.....

Orchids of Thailand

Well....like Nepal - Thailand is land of orchids (actually much more so...). Below are some of the shots of orchids of Thailand I have been taking. Decided to post it all in one place - in no particular order and I can't name even one of them even if you put a gun to my head. I don't shoot flowers - but orchid the "hippy" of flowers (I would like to call it) - capture my attention every time I see'em. They grow where they want to grow - on a tree bark or in some obscure damp corner - petals are not wimpy and yet seem to come in every color shapes and sizes - and they don't always adhere to "symmetry" rule of other mostly perfect round flowers either which can be boring to look at at times. 

 Untouched/unedited of any kind - and pictures taken without much thought (or any planning either). All are from my favorite Carl Zeiss f1.8 135mm lens with Sony Alpha Full Frame/Auto WB/Auto everything. 

Each of these pictures are gigantic 15-16 meg each - depending on your borwser window (of an average laptop) below pics are displaying at about 15% of the original size.
