Mon Bridge in Sangkhlaburi
Sangkhlaburi's iconic, 447m-long wooden bridge, the largest in Thailand, connects the main town, home mostly to Thai and Karen, with the Mon settlement. This village (officially it's Ban Wang Ka, but even residents just call it Ban Mon: 'Mon Village') is a striking place to explore, peopled by cheroot-smoking women, sarong-wearing men and faces covered in thanaka (a yellow paste made from tree bark, used both as sunblock and decoration).
At the Mon end of the bridge is a souvenir market selling Karen shirts and dresses among other things. Follow the street uphill from the bridge and turn left on the main road to visit the Mon market, which is refreshingly free of souvenirs.
Giving morning alms to monks (at 6.30am) is a big event on the Mon side of the bridge. Tourists (mostly from Bangkok) donate from fancy trays alongside locals who stick to the Mon tradition of giving just a scoop of rice. During Buddhist festivals alms are offered on the bridge.

It’s a sad measure of the burden of failure in my life that no one has yet described me as ‘handsome’ uncoerced. You’d think I would have had some chance, at least, since I was born light blonde, blue-eyed and pleasantly freckled…
It was not to be. And my hope is waning… Well. Completely dead, actually.
The best I have managed so far for a description is ‘lovely man’. This has happened in so many independent contexts now that I tend to burst out laughing if someone says it (much to their perplexity!).
Can you imagine, though, how galling this would-be accolade is to someone who has striven all their life to be a hysteria-inducing, testosterone-filled, rippling hunk of seductive (to women) allure?
No. Believe me. You can’t.
I mean, ‘lovely man’ is not quite the same thing is it really? Not by a long shot. Well, let’s be frank, not even by a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile...
But I suppose it could be worse…
Maybe… perhaps :(
At least I am sure now that my Maker has a well-developed sense of ironic humour... as if I didn’t know that anyway!
But I digress and drag you through the despondent slough of my self-pity.
The point of the preamble, of course, is that fair-complexioned people are genetically adapted to live in the higher latitudes, where their skin needs to produce sufficient Vitamin D in the meagre sun.
I live at latitude 51.683638 North. In North American terms that’s a latitude north of Calgary, about the bottom of Hudson Bay. In the southern hemisphere that would be equivalent to about halfway between Australia’s southern coast and Antarctica.
Here in winter a decent candle is brighter than the sun most of the day, or so it seems.
Vitamin D is vital to maintaining bones and calcium levels in the body. It’s one of the vitamins that is only soluble in oil and it’s not stored, so we rely on our skins to make it. The lack of pigmentation in the skin maximises the manufacture in weak sunlight.
Or these days in winter we take supplements.
And in summer we use sunblock :)
So now you know, if you didn’t before, why a lot of Scandinavians are blonde. But it fails miserably, of course, to explain why I was born in the tropics...
This is a picture of Vitamin D capsules in an antique liqueur glass for the Macro Mondays theme “Contained”. I’d often thought the capsules made interesting shapes and light lenses so I wanted give the idea a try.
The bowl of the glass is 50,800 microns wide, so we are within the group’s limits ;) Yey!
PS I have just returned from over three weeks of famliness which, although fun, has meant that I am way behind on everyone’s photostreams. I doubt that I shall be able to do them justice but I hope, at least, to make a few comments here and there.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)

Developed in Capture One using levels to take out the background and adjusting the colour to get rid of a green cast and warm it up a bit.
Into Affinity for a bit of retouching.
Sharpened with High Pass/Linear blend.
Added a glow using a Lens Blur filter in Lighten blend mode with reduced opacity to balance the effect. I know this takes off the sharpness but I wanted a bit of fun and I was tired of the everything-must-be-pin-sharp yoke.
Extended the canvas to change the composition a bit, adding more black background; levelled it too as the tripod can’t have been level with the table.]

ahh - this may just be the beginning of our rainy season here -
a snapshot, something i noticed while watering my garden and RAN inside for to get my camera - it was over in seconds.
A beautiful sunny winter day and my first time visiting Foster Beach. The ice formations were amazing! I have more photos to sort from both cameras, but here are some quick ones from the iPhone for instant gratification.
I think I got sunburned - I didn't even think of it ahead of time but of course I should have put sunblock on my face

Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse ~ Hillsboro Beach, Florida U.S.A.
(six more photos of 'this lighthouse' in the comments)
*****************************************************************************
Hillsboro Inlet Light is located on the north side of Hillsboro Inlet, midway between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. The light marks the northern limit of the Florida Reef, an underwater coral formation on the lower east coast of the state.
In 1901, the United States Lighthouse Establishment persuaded Congress to authorize the construction of a lighthouse in the dark area between Jupiter Inlet Light and Fowey Rocks Light. In the second half of the 20th century, this inlet became an increasingly busy waterway. Hillsboro Inlet Light is considered one of the most powerful lights in the world with a beam that can be seen for 28 nautical miles (32 mi). The octagonal iron pyramidal tower was built at Russel Wheel & Foundry Co in Detroit, Michigan, moved to the Hillsboro Inlet Light Station in 1906, and lit on March 7, 1907. Its second-order bivalve Fresnel lens emits a light measuring 5.5 megacandelas and is placed 136 feet above sea level. Automated in 1974, the light acts both as a coastal navigational aide and as a support to local water traffic.
The light was relit in 2000, with 400 pounds of mercury replaced by a specially designed ball-bearing assembly. In 2003, Hillsboro Inlet Light was honored with a 37¢ U.S. postage stamp. Flashes at 20 sec.

I apologize for my lack of response and not posting much. It's been a long hard year here and it's still a battle. My husband has been battling cancer, twice this year I was told he wouldn't make it through the weekend. Yet here he is, still battling. He finished a special way of chemo and radiation because he was too weak for the normal dosages and we find the results of that on Nov 1st. Hopefully the cancer shrunk enough to operate and remove it. Just as he was getting strong enough to get out of bed and walk for the first time in months, he got sick and ended up back in bed. He's recouping again and is becoming mobile once more but slowly
If anyone here thinks something is impossible, please send me an email, I'll prove you wrong because the proof for anything is possible is the living room right now farting and trying to blame the dog

Digital cameras were finally becoming available to the public at high but still fairly affordable prices. A whole new world opened up for those of us who had a secret side to document! I borrowed a camera from a friend and convinced my wife to let me shave all my body and spend a weekend taking the first ever digital photos of Cristy. At the time, I did not have any intentions of sharing them with the world.
This was the first time I shaved my legs and chest since 1988 and my first attempt at producing a taped cleavage. It really worked but, big mistake, I used duct tape!!!!! You can imagine the consequences!
I was yet to discover the big difference that a nice smile can do to your feminine appearance; something I still recommend to every girl that does not show teeth in her photos. Being young-er, I was able to get away with it and still look ok, unlike today :)
Another factor that I realized I had to take care of was avoiding the farmer's tan. I wore short-sleeved shirts to work every day and still did for some time but started putting sunblock on my arms to reduce the effect. I then went for long-sleeved shirts for work and on weekends I would put sunblock to prevent the tan lines from being too noticeable. Another thing I do today, whenever i go to the beach, is put sunblock from the elbow down and tanning lotion from the elbow up to compensate when there is a noticeable line.
TGirls today do not realize how hard it was for those of us, back then, to break ground and even harder for those before us. Thank God for digital cameras and the Internet!

Tomada en agosto de 2002
Ls cámaras digitales por fin estaban disponibles comercialmente a precios elevados pero más bajos que en sus inicios. ¡Un nuevo mundo de oportunidades se abrió para todas aquellas personas que teníamos un lado secreto que documentar! Presté una cámara de un amigo y convencí a mi esposa de permitirme rasurarme completa y pasar un fin de semana tomando las primeras fotos digitales de Cristy. En ese momento, no tenía intenciones de compartir las fotos con el mundo.
Esta fue la primera vez que me rasuré las piernas y el pecho desde 1988 y mi primer intento a producir una línea de busto con cinta adhesiva. ¡Funcionó muy bien pero, gran error, utilicé cinta para ductos!!!! ¡Ya imaginarán las consecuencias!
Todavía no había descubierto la enorme diferencia que una sonrisa puede hacer para parecer más femenina; algo que, hasta la fecha, sigo recomendando a las chicas que no muestran los dientes en sus fotos. Por ser más joven y a diferencia de hoy, todavía podía hacerlo de manera aceptable sin sonreír :)
Otro factor que me percaté que tenía que resolver era la línea de bronceado producida por usar camisas de manga corta todo el tiempo. A partir de entonces empecé a ponerme bloqueador de sol en la parte descubierta de los brazos para reducir el efecto. Luego empecé a usar camisas de manga larga durante la semana y los fines de semana usaba el bloqueador. Esto ayudó mucho a desaparecer la línea al usar blusas o vestidos sin mangas. Otra cosa que hago, cuando voy a la playa, es poner bloqueador en la parte inferior de los brazos y bronceador en la parte superior para emparejar la poca diferencia que a veces persiste.
Las chicas TG hoy no tienen idea de lo complicado que era para nosotras abrir brecha, en esos tiempos, y más aún para las que estuvieron antes que nosotras. ¡Gracias a Dios por las cámaras digitales y el Internet!
Its Howdee Doodee time at mother roads. Just had to pose in the desert now didn't I. Before you start whingeing my shorts are too small I dress for the occasion.....heat and yes I used sunblock but yukkie yukkkk yuckkk now I am dirty stickie.

But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
She gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorable
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
I got a sunburn

A friend applying some sunscreen. It is so important to use sun-screen or sunblock when you are down at the beach! I was using a Spf 30,myself and ended up getting burnt anyway! I had to take some Advil and I applied Aloe Vera 3 times ,before I went to bed that night! Be careful and be safe!

This day I decided to go to the beach at Ramla Bay, about 20 minutes away by bus from my hotel. The route included a lot of mountainous hairpin turns that made me anxious.
Once there, the beach was wonderful! I had a burger at the little beach shack (they call them beef burgers on Malta, not hamburgers), and lazed in sun and water for a couple hours. I didn't have a book or an umbrella or sunblock (!), and I ended up leaving after two hours, but with no regrets.

About three years ago I was invited to open an account here by a very talented friend from fotolog site, Lily-* lotusgreen* and i started my photostream on Flickr posting a picture of Burma. Without any doubt, it has marked the beginning of an amazing relationship with Flickr’s community. But, today i’m feeling so sad and I don't have any desire to celebrate. I only have one wish in mind... “Freedom for Burma, 45 years of military dictatorship is enough!” - “Freedom and dignity for the next generation of Burma!”

Há mais ou menos três anos atrás, eu fui convidada à abrir uma conta aqui por uma amiga muito talentosa do fotolog Lily- * lotusgreen* comecei a minha página no Flickr postando uma foto de Burma, sem dúvidas, isto marcou o inicio de um relacionamento incrível com a comunidade do Flickr. Mas, hoje estou tão triste que não tenho vontade de comemorar nada, só tenho um desejo em mente... “Liberdade para Burma, 45 anos de ditadura militar já é o bastante!” -“Liberdade e dignidade para a próxima geração da Birmânia!”

I was preparing photo mode would I use to take pictures but my husband take me to the subject hidden camera, so the results are funny and silly look at the condition of the camera lens is covered .... hahaha
Vacationing in the city of Malang is fun many tourist attractions that dot the coast of the city, which made me always want to come visit. How beautifully the atmosphere of the beach when the mind exhausted by a tedious activity and saturate.
As such Ngliyep Coast basin live in heaven with white sand beaches stretching on the edge. Ngliyep beach located in the district Donomulyo, 62 km south of the city of Malang is cool and offers panoramic views no less beautiful beach with a beach that is outside the country. Why do we have to be out the way the island or out of the country just to enjoy the beaches clean and beautiful.
Ngliyep beach located on Ocean Indonesia presents its white sand and the waves roaring successive solving atmosphere when night falls. Sunbathing on the white sand that makes me more freedom of expression and is not a lot of local and foreign tourists who vacation at the beach.
He said every 14 months Maulud in the Javanese calendar, which means that a ceremony was held Labuhan give offerings to the sea that gives meaning to words of gratitude to God Almighty, and say your prayers. During the ceremony there was the presentation of the sacrifice of a goat's head to Queen of the South Sea.
The atmosphere is quiet shore Ngliyep as if I belong to a private beach since no one came because it was a weekday, deliberately seek time and the right place just for a photo shoot. If you take time off obviously I can not take the atmosphere of the beach is really quiet and clean.
Many board writing reads "No bathing or swimming at the beach" because the waves are known to be very strong, the writing is intentionally placed several large trees to remind the visitors who do not know Ngliyep shore wave conditions are known for the strong flow of the waves.
Actually I had no plans to get out of town hunting, because it coincided with the show's nephew's fiance so rather than return home, while still a long time. So I decided to go out of town without a planned schedule while driving a car on the way crossed my thinking "why not try to come on shore Ngliyep!"
Me and my husband finally agreed to go to Malang is Ngliyep beach destination. Until midnight Ngliyep shore and a gate or portal commonly guarded by puller tickets are gone, but the gates remain open portal so I went straight in without paying.
Amid the darkness of the night I kept going without stopping because of his wish to get some rest, not long distant visible light was still on from the couple of stalls that were open they might be open 24 hours to serve the fishermen who deliberately seek the warmth of a cup of coffee.
I got out of the car and went to a shop to ask for a resort or a cottage, just off an old man hurriedly put the holster. With a polite tone father showed towards the inn, and he said "there will be a guard there!" The father thanked me directly step the gas and spinning reverse direction.
In front of the inn or cottage room there is a guard with a middle-aged father carrying a flashlight. My husband got out of the car asking rent, and the father of one of the guards show room condition.
After my husband asked at length, he returned to the car and told me that her room was 75 thousand a room rate .... "Wowww that great!" I said suspiciously. Return my husband told me that his room was no electricity just using candles ...... "Oh my God!" Replied again limp. But because of the time it's late and I'm exhausted in the course inevitably end we checked.
I came to the beach Ngliyep did not seek luxury inn but find beautiful panoramas on the site that made me put aside the things that are not worth it. I'm just thankful there are still places inn to rest, if I'm going back to see people taking pictures in the middle of Caucasians in the woods and spend months or even years old in the woods just to the documentation without adequate facilities such as home stay , cottage or something else.
Morning has come up before and the sun was setting I hurried east on the horizon camera gear and a tripod. I was barefoot and carrying camera gear while husband set its mode to be re-used to suit the shooting, traveling on the sand I kept scratching my legs because the itching was unbearable but I let it because it is more fun to take pictures.
And soon I saw my husband's leg bumps, small red bumps, I will quickly see the condition of my feet were the same, the locals named the animal " Cireng " a kind of little critters like mosquitoes. Granted we did not prepare equipment for skin, usually when there is a plan to shore would certainly supplies like sunblock or sunscreen is always ready. Until back former home in a few days bumps, small red bumps are still there up to 7 days dissipate diligently giving lotion for skin care every day.
But I really enjoyed it and so many wonderful memories in that place. Life so beautiful if we can to understand many things in this world.

On Saturday we visited a nice little restored area nestled among an otherwise urban part of St. Paul. When we arrived and were still at our car putting on sunblock and such, a bolt of lighting came out of nowhere and seemed to strike somewhere maybe less than an 1/8th of a mile from us! I saw the insanely bright flash out of the corner of my eye, and before I had a chance to exclaim to my wife "wow, that was close," a sound equal to the loudest explosion I've ever heard, literally made me jump up and backward. We both quickly got back in the car and were expressing our surprise to one another with profanity-laced disbelief. It was by far and away the closest either of us had been to an actual bolt of lightning before. So we put our short hike on hold for the time being and waited. Within 5 minutes however, the sun was shining and the storm was moving away. We hiked safely for the next hour or so until the sky once again turned ominous and dark. It was around this time I snapped a photo of this native Hoary Vervain, getting low to the ground so I could include the darkening blue sky in the background. Ramsey County, MN 07/223/22
No more scorching heat, annoying bugs, sunburn, sweat, and sunblock? Sounds good to me! LOL
I'll be bummed not to see so many pretty flowers but I'm so happy it's going to be cooler now.

When I came home from my photography roadtrip with my buddies Scott Jordan and Robert Scoble on Saturday the first thing my college freshman daughter said to me was "you got a dad shirt." While I hadn't thought of my new Scottevest docksider shirt as a "dad shirt" per se, upon reflection I guess it is a dad shirt. It's also my new favorite shirt with 7 different pockets to hold CF cards, extra batteries, headphones, sunblock, my iPhone, etc.
