Fourteen years ago a small field of lilies was abloom right on the spot where that condominium stands. Remember Big Yellow Taxi? "... they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot?" I call this building The Invader. As I walk by every morning I daydream of that lily field.
This Spirit house is my side view as soon as I reach the computers to sign in at work. If the wind blows my way I get a whiff of incense. It's easy to get used to the fragrance, not the high rise.
Incense sticks perpetually burn in temples too. I took notice of the one behind this part of the highway as it's where my boss's Dad will be cremated come March 30th. I was on a moving bus opposite this lane. The teapot is a serendipity :)
Students in their scout uniform pass by the temple after school. The yellow and green vehicle is a government taxi. You can ride the red bus all day for free. Guy with a blue tie is running for Bangkok governor. Election time is around the corner in my world.

That blue tie should assure the gentleman a BIG win! Thanks for sharing these blues.

I agree. The choice of a lily field for a condo. Keep the lily fields. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteLove the serendipity.
ReplyDeleteDon't love the huge high rise that took away the flowers though.
You're so right - sometimes it's better to leave a green space!

ReplyDeleteYour photos made me feel as if I were on vacation for a brief moment. I love photos like yours where you really get a feel for the city/country from looking at them. Thank you, thank you.
It is sad when nice, open space becomes developed into uninspired architecture
ReplyDeleteIncense reminds me of my childhood.
