There are countless floating markets throughout Thailand, many within a couple of hours’ of Bangkok.
The most famous of the floating markets is Damnoen Saduak, about 100 kilometres southwest of Bangkok.
This buzzing market is at its best in the early morning.The colourfully clad merchants at these lively markets paddle along congested canals in sturdy canoes laden with fresh fruit and vegetables to sell to shoppers on the banks.
i'm not really sure what compelled me to compose this dbl... i guess just the ur-banality of the marina district and this lingerie window storefront. i dunno. i dunno.
Installing a hot tub can be a complicated task that should not be attempted without expert supervision. If you are thinking about building a hot tub in your backyard or installing a prefabricated hot tub, the question of price must have crossed your mind. Given that hot tubs require a...
see the great part about sitting on the top of a 5 story building with a 500mm telephoto is that no matter howmuch someone doesn't want there photo taken they really have no choice!
No, not for me, for my Jeep. The poor thing refused to start after his winter hibernation and had to be towed to the mechanic. Cost to replace crank sensor including parts and labor, plus oil/filter change = $540.44
Then I hopped in to drive home, turned the key....NOTHING. Barely a cough from under the hood. Cost for new battery and battery clamp = $207.86
On the plus side, I got to roam about old Montreal a bit while waiting for the new battery. Sure it was freezing, but hey, still better than being stuck inside the office.

"Reflector" Module 8 Image
The Following image is an Orange Reflector Light that is commonly found on construction sites on streets. I took an extreme closeup and was amazed at howmuch detail there was. For instance, there is a circle pattern that begins in the center and perfectly extends towards the outter end of the reflector. Plus, there is a contrast in the darker and lighter areas due to available lighting. No flash was used as the sun was beaming on the day I took the photo. Additionally, there is a pattern of blocks that blend well with the pattern of circles. For these reasons, I believe that this image is a very good example of the indicators. Furthermore, by utilizing filtering enhancements in Photoshop, this image can be altered in ways to blend well with different images and, as a result, can serve as a great background for different types of flyers or advertisements. Please see my alteration.

It's that time of year, we all pigged out over Christmas and our clothes are a little tighter than before Xmas! Well, I got on the scales and I'm just over 14st, but I have been that weight nearly all year so I'm pretty pleased with that result in some ways. But, like nearly everyone else I've decided new year it's time to go on a serious diet again. I did get to 13 st last year but my ideal weight is 12.5st so I will start to get the books out again to watch what I eat, but there's still another couple of days left of this year so pass me that mince pie, the temptation will be gone then!

A New Year's Resolution perhaps ..?)))
On a lighter note ..?
Whenever he'd see a mate of his carrying a bottle of the orange stuff, hubby used to say;
"Ah Hah! First sign of alcoholism !"
A great joker, that man o' mine ;)
These are the prizes that were on offer in the Airth Primary School PTA Bottle Raffle. I can't remember how many tickets I bought (20 for a quid), but it was a lot!! I did manage to win 2 bottles of mulled wine, 3 of those cans of Belhaven and that bottle of Black Tower.
The things I'll do to help my old school! :-D
I do the same every year I go to the Games. I spend a good few quid trying to win some bottles from the Airth Primary PTA stall.
