Khao Sok Nation Park is one of the most beautiful national parks in Thailand. Khao Sok is a virgin forest where various types of plant life can be found. This includes a number of very rare and sacred tree species.The park serves as a home for a wide variety of wildlife such as the gaur, banteng, sambar deer, bear, Malayan tapir, macaque, gibbon, mouse deer, porcupine, marbled cat, wild boar, and Asian wild dog. There are four types of monkeys. Long-tailed macaques are the most common monkeys. They are brown in color and often move in groups of 5-20. They are not shy and are seen in many places - sometimes they swing through the trees near your house. They can often be found in the fruit orchard. Two other species - the pig-tailed macaque and the stump-tailed macaque – are often found deeper in the jungle, and can be quite aggressive, so do not try to befriend them if you meet them while hiking. The dusky langur, also known as a leaf monkey, lives in the upper canopy. You can sometimes see them playing on the cliffs across the stream. The gibbon is hard to see, since it spends most of its life high in the canopy, but it is common to hear its song, a beautiful series of rising and falling whoops. These songs are a way of marking territory and communicating with family members. Gibbons have a lifespan of about 25 years in the wild, and are monogamous mammals forming bonds for life. Gibbons are not monkeys but members of the ape family, and thus have no tail. Their long arms enable them to swing between tree branches. Unlike most primates, who simply jump between branches, a gibbon can swing at speeds as high as 56 km/u and can travel as far as 9 meter in one swing. It also acts as the natural habitat for several for several bird species. A lot of visitors come to Khao Sok just to marvel the beauty of the nature but you can also enjoy your time taking part experiencing the tropical rainforest on foot. Different trekkings are possible.
Turn your back on the crowded beaches of Phuket and head inland to Khao Sok National Park, a spectacularly diverse wilderness. Here you’ll find a land of primordial limestone mountains, wildlife to rival the Amazon, and eco-friendly lakeside and treetop camps. River trips, mangrove canoeing and trekking are some of the ways to experience this part of Khao Sok. The forest around the lake is rich in wildlife. If you're into photography, this means you'll have a very good chance to get one of those once-in-a-lifetime wildlife shots! We were lucky to catch a Long-tail Macaque near the river. Its defining characteristic, for which they are named, is their extraordinarily long tail that is almost always longer than their height from head to rump. You will catch them usually in the afternoon when the temperature is a bit cooler near the river Sok.
Khao Sok เขาสก is een groot nationaal park, gelegen in Thailand in de provincie Surat Thani. Het heeft een oppervlakte van 739 km². In het park bevindt zich naast oerbos, wat een overblijfsel is van een regenwoud dat ouder en diverser is dan het Amazoneregenwoud. Het is één van de mooiste nationale parken van Thailand. met een eeuwenoud regenwoud met watervallen, kalksteenformaties die meer dan 900 meter de lucht in schieten, een groot meer met honderden kleine eilandjes, grotten, prachtige tropische planten en een grote variëteit aan wildlife waaronder de Aziatische olifant, luipaarden, sambars, bantengs, tapirs, dwergherten, cobra's, pythons en verscheidene soorten reptielen, apen en 311 soorten vogels. Met een beetje geluk vind je hier ook nog de wilde lotus Rafflesia kerri Meyer of in het Thais bua phút, de grootste bloem ter wereld. Volledig volgroeide bloemen halen de 90 centimeter en leven in de wortels van lianen. Khao Sok is een perfecte plek voor jungle tochten. Er zijn verschillende paden om te verkennen. Wij maken een jungle tocht vanaf Khao Sok National Park - Headquarters. Een wandeling van 1.5 uur naar een de perfecte bestemming voor wie op zoek is naar avontuur. Het lopen door het regenwoud is echt iets bijzonders. Je ruikt de lucht van grond, vocht en planten. Om je heen staan planten als in een tropisch tuincentrum; palmen, lianen, met varens begroeide stammen van inheemse bomen en reuzenbamboestengels. Wang Pai Ha is prachtige stroomversnelling. Er is genoeg rustig water om hier het hele jaar te kunnen zwemmen. Lekker genieten bij het riviertje. Een mooie gelegenheid om de flora en fauna van het regenwoud te leren kennen. we houden onze ogen en oren open voor hagedissen, insecten en apen. Tot onze verrassing zien we Java apen op de rotsen zitten. Deze apen leven in bosrijke gebieden langs rivieren en aan de kust en brengt veel tijd van de dag door boven in de bomen, maar komt ook vaak op de grond en kan ook erg goed zwemmen. De java-aap eet voornamelijk fruit. Daarnaast ook wel bladeren, knoppen, gras, bloemen en zaden, maar ook insecten, krabben, garnalen en kikkers. Deze apen leven altijd in groepen. Wij vonden dit een bijzondere manier om dit regenwoud te ontdekken. Khao Sok is Thailand's natste regio met een jaarlijkse regenval van 3500mm. Wat te verwachten van het regenseizoen in Thailand - juni tot oktober: af en toe een flinke tropische regenbuien van 30 minuten tot 2 uur.

What it took: Various Lightroom and Photoshop edits to give it the feel of a photo from the 1980s, the decade of my later childhood and early teenage years. The colours cannot be replicated exactly in the digital format, but I have attempted to make it very grainy, with uneven, strange colours and blown-out highlights as per an incorrectly exposed photo taken with film and found in a drawer somewhere years later.

This is some of the stuff I've found on the ground over the years. One day I'll do something really artistic with it. Alternatively, the executors will find a pickle jar full of dusty stuff.
We're Here: I Found This!
127/365
It was a little grey at times yesterday, yet it was still warm, hence the blouse being discarded. Jo took to this field as he knew it was full of sunflowers. And so we found a little brightness on a dull day.
My first serious hdr.
Looking for a river themed song and found this, a bit sentimental but nice!

They say for everyone, there's that certain one
Out there, somewhere
I'd been looking hard, searching every heart
Getting nowhere
Didn't know I was making my way to you
Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Chorus;
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels
Miles of loneliness, now make perfect sense
Here beside you
Tears like water fall, it was worth it all
Just to find you
And yours are the last arms I'll run to
Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
Chorus x2
Oh, I know how the river feels

Founded in 1850, the University of Sydney is Australia's first university and is regarded as one of its most prestigious, ranked as the 27th most reputable university in the world. In 2013, it was ranked 38th and in the top 0.3% in the QS World University Rankings. Five Nobel or Crafoord laureates have been affiliated with the university as graduates and faculty. The University is colloquially known as one of Australia's "Sandstones", a status similar to that of the "Ivy League" in the United States and the "Russell Group" in the United Kingdom.
The university's Coat of Arms, granted by the College of Arms are an amalgamation of the arms of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and their important figures, heraldry and other references to the two ancient universities are sprawled throughout the university in its architecture and character. Its motto, "Sidere mens eadem mutato" translated literally gives "Though the stars change, the mind is the same", but has been more liberally translated to give, "Sydney University is really just Oxford or Cambridge laterally displaced approximately 12,000 miles".
The 2013 QS World University Rankings placed Sydney in the top 20 in the world in 11 subjects; more than a third of the 30 measured. The University of Sydney was ranked 8th in the world for Education, 9th in Accounting and Finance and 10th in Law. Additionally, Sydney was placed 12th in English Language and Literature, History and Archaeology, Linguistics and Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering, the highest in Australia of those subjects. Psychology at Sydney was ranked 14th, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, and Communication and Media were ranked 16th, and the Sydney Medical School was ranked 17th.
Its main campus has been ranked in the top 10 of the world's most beautiful universities by the British Daily Telegraph, The Huffington Post and Disney Pixar, among others such as Oxford and Cambridge and is spread across the inner-city suburbs of Camperdown and Darlington.
Housing the Sydney Medical School, this building is my second home.
