This was my last full day in Thailand on this trip.  I did not want to ride the motorcycle down to Phon, rent a car or take the bus.  So I decided to ride the train. This is my ticket to Muang Phon for later that afternoon, but first there was something else that I wanted to do before the train ride down south. I rode the motorcycle down to the lake area because it had been so long since I had been there.  Remember, I used to visit Khonkaen several times a year, but now it’s more like once every 2 or 3 years.  This is a Chinese temple.

    Every city should have a Central Park. This should be made a rule taught to every urban architect in the 101 Introduction to Urban Planning course in undergrad and added to every country’s constitution by law – each major urban city there must be, atleast, one Central Park. Why? Because it’s the kind of thing that makes a city. I’m aware of cynics seeing the potential hazards, with all sorts of potential crime infestations, but that’s beside the point – those can happen just as much if not more in other parts of town. It can also look rundown and neglected,…

    Tamshui is probably my 2nd favorite spot in the Taipei area. It reminds me a little bit of Greenwhich Village or Sausalito in terms of the vibe. Each of those 3 places is completely different and GV and Sausalito probably closer to each other but the three all have a sense of independence or detachment from the immediate surrounding area. Kind of lighter than air and warm for lack of better tangible words. The shot was taken on a nice family trip weekend. The family was still sleeping while I was up clicking at the crack of dawn...what else is new. If it ain't broke don't fix it , right?
