Description Past and future... A young boy playing with his mobile phone in a beautiful place, though strongly connected with the past. This was taken in the area around Mae Hong Son. It's called "Thai Zwitserland" and is located at 5 km from Myanmar. Many Thai come here to enjoy the cool weather during winter. It's a habit for them to travel up north between november and january. Even though it's called winter, there are still temperatures above the 30°, for example in Chiang Mai. It's just getting a bit cooler at night because of the altitude.

Nikon D300, Tokina 12-24mm, B + W UV filter.

"Thai Zwitserland" lol
Who told you that
I don't disagree but.. it's just too funny to know that Mae Hong Son was called Thai Zwit

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

slecocqphotography In reply to Clover4-in-hand [2009-09-25 08:28:24 +0000 UTC]

It's called Thai Zwitserland because the landscape looks like the Suiss alps. The trees are all pines, and it's just like Zwitserland. I didn't invent it by th way

All my guides told the same story

hmmm... the light and the shade part of the pic got me to think. Which color to tag the past and the present? What do you say? Quite a philosophical piece

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

slecocqphotography In reply to Mt-Ris [2009-01-19 08:18:18 +0000 UTC]

Actually i saw it as the phone as a part of the future, and the old raft as the past. But to answer your question, philosophically, i'd answer that the reflection is the future... You never know how a reflection will be, so this is surely the future A window to the world, with a uncertain future...

Je hebt gelijk, t'is hier nog altijd supergoed weer. Ook al is het vannacht het koudst geweest in 10 jaar. Maarja, voor de Thai is onder de 20 graden koud en boven de 35 te warm, ze zijn weinig gewoon

Maar ik zie er eerlijk gezegd naar uit om koude temperaturen te hebben, ook al bevries ik zeker ter plaatse na 9 maanden hier. Tegen 13 februari vlieg ik terug, kzie er al naar uit

ReachingFlames In reply to slecocqphotography [2009-01-14 14:53:10 +0000 UTC]

Amai dan is daar blijkbaar niet veel temperatuurverschil?

Valt België zo hard te missen dan? Ik denk soms dat als ik ooit een grote reis op mezelf maak, ik evengoed in het buitenland kan blijven leven

België is't mooiste land ter wereld, maar je moet daarvoor wel andere oorden verkennen om dat te beseffen

Ik heb al heel wat landen gezien hoor, maar nog nooit buiten Europa, dat zal het verschil wel maken denk ik

Dank je voor je commentaar, het doet ergens altijd "goed" om zoiets te horen. In zekere zin maak ik foto's voor mezelf, maar zonder DA zou ik zeker niet evenveel motivatie hebben om telkens nieuwe onderwerpen te fotograferen en hier zoveel uren te spenderen met commentaren te beantwoorden en foto's te bewerken en te posten... Dus, een hele grote Dank U

It's a bit difficult to see what the boy's holding, though.
