Here are some of the photos I took while we were on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, earlier this year: Chinese New Year and the year of the dragon. This cute image was on a shop door the bride arrives on the back of an elephant for her beach wedding what an idyllic setting [...]

This week’s challenge was to showcase any of our own photoart or a piece based on the word “horizon”. These photos taken in Thailand earlier this year when for 3 days this lake is covered as far as the eye can see in pink waterlilies. It was the most extraordinary sight.
