I have to admit this is probably not the most exciting photo to view . However it is significant for me as its the first time I have photographed three countries on one shot . It is also my first attempt at stitching together three images
This was taken at Chiang Saen overlooking the Mekong River . The area has the unofficial title of the Golden Triangle On the left is Thailand in the centre Myanmar and on the far right is Laos . Anybody else managed to get three counties in one shot there must be other places ion the planet were you can achieve it
As for the stitching I forgot everything I was supposed to do including using a tripod but Photoshop managed to combine the three images fairly well . So the Adobe product deserves all the credit .
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

Rainy/cold days and no feeling for going out or even checking my latest pics still on my CF card...
So, I decided to upload a few oldies (negative film back from 10-12 years ago, out of an EOS-1 and few primes). Quality is poor (more than ten years old scanner disposed of) but photography ain't only quality, is it? It is also our memories...

These signs carrying (modern) haiku are appearing all over downtown Washington. The full story is here. From the website --
The Golden Triangle Business Improvement District is proud to announce its 6th annual Golden Haiku literary competition. Award-winning haiku entries, along with dozens of honorable mentions, will be featured in tree boxes along some of DC’s most iconic streets throughout March. The colorful signs will brighten the winter landscape as spring arrives creating a magical experience for thousands to enjoy.
The haiku entries will be judged by a distinguished panel of published haiku experts. The theme will be “Spring in the City,” but any related theme will be accepted.

The roof/heliport of the Steel Building offers no glass to separate you from the torrent wind gusts and some 65 floors to the street. Until you acclimate, your knees feel a little weak. Strangely, you can smell hot dogs and popcorn from PNC Park a mile away. As you approach this city from any direction, this building is the first thing you see. A reverse perspective is an experience to remember.
(A special thanks to building security for my two-hour rooftop shoot.)

Before I crossed Mekong River into Laos at the Golden Triangle, I always had this image from the 70's where militiamen from the drug lords were guarding the entrances to Myanmar. Today this place is infested with tourists from the West and from China. The local economy seems to prosper from tourism. Right behind that golden Buddha statue is Myanmar. The two buildings with red roofs belong to a casino hotel invested by some business tycoon from China. You can reach the most western part of China by continuing up north on this river.
