A Short Photo Essay: April 2012: Bangkok and it’s People

A very nice Thai lady in front of her store front. She didn’t mind posing for the photo at all and I think was pretty proud of tire shop!

One of the many artisans we came across on our journeys through the city. He was creating birds out grass.

The ubiquitous Tuk Tuk. They are all over the city and are probably the best way to get around other than the Skytrain. It’s always quite the wild ride, and they seem to follow their own rules of the road.

I wish I could remember the name of this Temple. It’s right across the street from the Grand Palace and has beautiful grounds to walk around.

One of the many Buddhist Monks to be seen in Bangkok. They even have signs on the Skytrain, telling you to give up your seat if one comes on board. They are highly revered in Thai society.

One of the many Klongs that crisscross the city. Some are major transportation routes, and others like this one are just there.

Street food rules supreme in Bangkok (well in Thailand in general) and there are vendors everywhere! You can get just about anything you want to eat from them (although their rules of hygiene may be a little looser than ours), and it’s always delicious!

Took a quick trip down to Hamilton to check out the museum…

Ready, Steady, Go!

Sam and I took a walk along the Humber River last weekend. It’s amazing how much wildlife you can see in an urban park.

My God, It’s Full of Stars!

Living in the city makes you forget just how awesome the night sky can be. Especially when you escape the light pollution that we live with as urban dwellers.

Rainbow!

I’ve seen lots of rainbows in my days, but this was the first time I’ve ever seen clearly where the rainbow started and ended…

A Short Photo Essay: Pigeon Lake Creepy Cabins

We were up at my friend’s cottage last week, and he told me about some cabins that had been abandoned by their owner about 20 years ago. Naturally I had to go and take a look!

The Bearded Man…

Came across this gentleman in Kensington Market a couple of weeks back…

Trip out to the Halton Radial Railway Museum in Milton

Took the boys out to the museum, rode the working streetcars and rail cars that they have, and took a look around at the rest. It’s a great place to visit if you are into this sort of thing…

The interior of an old TTC G-series Subway Car. It’s one of the old red ones. I can totally remember riding these cars when I was younger…
