Afternoon by the lake

afternoon, the sun was setting and the cold nippy weather was felt on my fingers as I stopped to take photos by the lake of boats that were turned down for winter.

First snow

I have to believe that winter is here, even thought this snow melted quickly, but it is a sign that one cannot ignore.

summer walk

This photo with its soft light coming throught the trees, the girls walking on the side of the road, it just spell summer to me. Do you agree with me?

Beach paradise on the Andaman Sea

Thailands  beach paradise, Railay Beach also frequently referred to as Rai Leh or Rai Lay — is a small peninsula just south of the town of Ao Nang, Krabi. It’s attached to Krabi’s mainland, but cut off by towering limestone cliffs from all the roads and towns.

This isolation from the mainland, and the complete absence of cars and roads, gives Railay Beach a very island feel. All photos in this gallery can be enlarged by a click

Searching for sunlight

Yesterday we saw also other colors than blue, grey and white in various tones. A small orange light around midday was to give hope of  better. These still mostly are the blue grey tones, also very beautiful, absolutely, but at this point in the winter a sunny day would be just awesome. Al photos can be enlarged by a click.
