Muang Boran Pt. 1 by sarahnadesarah

2009-11-24T04:02:01Z

'Muang Boran' means 'Ancient City' in Thai. It's an area of over 250 acres in the shape of Thailand, comprised of all the greatest and most famous monuments, temples, and buildings built specifically for the park. They're all exact replicas architecturally, just on a much smaller scale. When you buy a ticket, you get to use a bike for free, so my friend and I spent several hours riding around the Ancient City, taking photos and exploring each building. The weather was absolutely gorgeous so we had a really great time.

The name of that tower is the Ho Withun Thasana which means The Sages Lookout. This observatory amongst the palace was built by King Chulalongkorn during the late 19th century as a lookout tower as for viewing the surrounding areas/countryside. It is located in Bang Pa-in, Thailand, less than an hour drive from Bangkok.

I've written and re-written this post about 5 times because it keeps freezing when I try to upload. If this actually works, I'll write it again later... I'm too frustrated to bother :)

Wise County Courthouse in HDR by pdsdville

2009-11-19T13:47:31Z

Not as beautiful as the Waxahachie courthouse but still one of my favorites. Of course I might be a little biased since I grew up in it's shadow. The HDR effects vary considerably but I was playing a lot. Hope you enjoy.

St. Pancras Station by girafferacing

I travelled through St. Pancras Station in London today on my way to give a concert in Sheffield. Ever since I visited the station the first time two years ago I’ve been itching to take some photos but have either never had the time or the right equipment with me. Today I made sure I allowed an extra hour between my trains and spent the time snapping away contentedly. It was the perfect day for it with a beautiful blue sky beyond the glass roof and the quality of light was just magical. I made sure I took my wide angle lens with me and used it to capture an enormous bronze sculpture called ‘The Embrace’ which stands at one end of the station. I purposely included the station clock in the background of this shot to emphasise the sense of passing time before this couple have to part. They are truly enormous – I guess I’m probably shorter than their legs! I could have spent all day capturing the magnificent Victorian roof – resplendent with its fresh blue paint – I just love the lines and patterns created by the enormous iron beams.

Early morning service by girafferacing

2009-11-15T15:00:18Z

I’ve been in May Hill, Gloucestershire, today conducting a recorder playing day. I got to the village hall early and went for a quick stroll before we started playing. Just opposite the hall I found the village church. I couldn’t go inside as the early morning service was taking place – I could hear the congregation singing very heartily. Instead I took this shot of the end window which was bathed in some warm early morning light.

Holding it all together by girafferacing

2009-11-10T08:27:54Z

I had a little free time in Petersfield again at lunchtime today so I decided to explore some of the side streets I’ve never walked down before. I found this wall tie (I think that’s what they’re called) on a cottage in a street just off the square, helping to keep the ancient walls up. I like its curvy shape against the straight lines of the bricks, along with the rough textures. It was only when I got this shot onto the computer at home that I realised it has a face engraved into the metal at either end!
