I took this photo of a dragonfly resting (well, I think it’s resting) a month ago. This is a crop of a photo taken at 200mm – approximately 2 meters from the subject.

This was part of a set of photos I took a couple of days back. This was one of a very few that turned out sharp enough — low light and my caffeinated hands ruined quite a few of them.

This is a HDR processed photo of Rio City Cafe in ‘Old Sac’ – Sacramento.

This photo was taken at Watson Lake, Prescott, Arizona back in May 2011. Prescott, at more than 5300 feet above sea level, is a quiet little town with a great (and somewhat cold) weather.

This picture has an added significance for me. When we, my uncle George and I, got to this place it was about 9 degrees but it started to rain just a few minutes after we got there. It was quite windy and the temperatures dropped quickly. Instead of heading back, we stayed and waited out. After the rain, we got the blue skies and some sun light for the above picture.

The above picture was taken at 5:43 pm.  Just an hour or so before that, it looked like the picture below. The picture below was taken at 4:36 pm.

Canon Powershot S 95

This was taken on my way to Lake Tahoe.  I didn’t want to stick out my EOS out of the moving car window to take it, so I used my compact Canon s95.

I took this from somewhere near the top of Doi Inthanon – the highest mountain in Thailand.

The Empire of Japan built the Thailand-Burma Railway during the Second World War. Over 330,000 people worked on the line (including over 250,000 Asian laborers and over 61,000 Allied POWs) – about 90,000 of the laborers and about 16,000 Allied prisoners died.  The most famous potion of the railway is Bridge 277, “the bridge over River Kwai”. The bridge was immortalized by Pierre Boulle in his book and the film based on it.
