Stunning infinity pool with the morning fog having just lifted. From the edge of the pool you can see both Laos and Myanmar (Burma)! Perched on a ridge overlooking the hills of Myanmar and Laos, Anantara's Golden Triangle resort is as enchanting as the region in which it is located.
This image ranks as my 2nd most viewed. Seems like it featured in many blogs and infinity pool lists. Not bad for a photo taken with a crappy compact (after I lost the charger for my DSLR)!

Let's see if the group thinks it okay for a 'triangle' on macro Mondays...
Comments and Critic are highly appreciated.
Description: 2014-04-07 - This shot was taken during my last visit to the Trader's Sky Bar. Missing out on the awesome sunset the previous day and also the burning sunrise that day made me determined to go out for a sunset session with two other friends. Though it was raining approximately an hour before sunset, Alhamdulillah the sky clears just enough to let the golden ray of the sun to shine gloriously that afternoon. The image is part of a sequence of images taken for a Day to Night Timelapse over Kuala Lumpur City.

The Golden Triangle is one of Asia's two main opium-producing areas. It is an area of around 950,000 square kilometres that overlaps the mountains of three countries of Southeast Asia: Myanmar, Laos and Thailand.
This is a capture showing Denver Civic Center Cultural Complex.
Some additional information from wikipedia about Denver Civic Center:
Civic Center is a neighborhood and park in Denver, Colorado. The area is known as the center of the civic life in the city, with numerous institutions of arts, government, and culture as well as numerous festivals, parades, and protests throughout the year.
Civic Center is located in central Denver just south of the Central Business District. It is probably identified in the minds of Denverites as the "Golden Triangle." The borders of this neighborhood are Speer Boulevard on the west and south, Broadway on the east, and Colfax Avenue on the north.
Among the institutions in the Civic Center are Denver Art Museum, and the Denver Public Library's Central Library along the parks south side, the Colorado State Capitol and the City and County Building of Denver along the east and west axis of the park, the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building on the park's north side, and the Colorado History Museum and the Colorado State Judicial Building towards the southeast of the park.
I made several trips to Southeast Asia in the 1970s. The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia was a must-read book among travellers at the time. It deals with heroin trafficking in Southeast Asia and the CIA's complicity and aid to the Southeast Asian opium/heroin trade. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Politics_of_Heroin_in_Southeast... That is how I became interested in the Golden Triangle, the world's biggest opium producer before Afghanistan took over in the 1980s when the CIA's secret war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan helped transform the tribal states of the Afghani-Pakistani border area into a launchpad for the global heroin trade. I used to follow trails into the hills not knowing where they would take me. I met this woman from the Lisu tribe working in a poppy field on the Myanmar side of the unmarked border having wandered over from Thailand. She uses a tool of four sickle-shaped knives that are firmly tied together to make 4 parallel cuts into the poppy capsule through which a milky sap escapes. The sap dries overnight and becomes brown sticky raw opium which is scraped off with a blade the next day. The hill tribes practice slash-and-burn agriculture. The method begins by cutting down the forest in an area. The downed vegetation, or "slash", is then left to dry and the biomass is burned, resulting in a nutrient-rich layer of ash that makes the soil fertile. After 3-5 years the field is abandoned and the forest destruction continues. It is an unsustainable method of agriculture that has wreaked havoc on forests the world over. I used the Covid lockdown to digitise my slide collection. The photo was taken in the Golden Triangle in Feb 1976 with a Minolta SR-T 101 body and Minolta MC Rokkor 50mm f/1.4 lens on Kodachrome 64 slide film. Digitised using a Nikon ES-1 Slide copying adapter screwed to the front of my macro lens and placed in front of a neutral light source (5000 Kelvin LED panel). I take a RAW photo which is then treated with Topaz DeNoise AI for sharpening and noise/grain reduction. Mouseover photo for more details.
