Nice to hear from you, Trav, and to know where on earth you find yourself! Your background info always makes for amazing reading. Safe journeys... and send some more "green" stuff, OK? Regards Nico

Well, I like the low angle of view and choppy water...I was hanging out of my boat. This is Bangkok, the water buses cost .45 cents, US, and I could ride them forever. Then, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Siem Reap for Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, etc and eventually the floating villages of Tonle Sap, the large lake that sits in the center of Cambodia arrived at only by boat, a different one, of course, as well as the Royal Palaces down on the Gulf of Thailand in Hua Hin. Sweated so hard I shorted out my camera with heavily salted water from my own body...lol...in truth, it ran inside my 17~85 IS lens and shorted out the diaphram in the lens. Canon Care in Bangkok had it repaired for me in 48 hours and cleaned my body and sensor...for $47.00 US and gave the burned out parts back to me. Amazing! The green patch in the water is floating Mangrove, a real Environmental problem, sometimes you think you can walk across this fast flowing river on the bits and pieces of Mangrove clogging the water way.

Good one Trav, I like the little green mini-island or is that a floating tree? Spectacularly different scene than most skylines without those sky-scraping monstrosities. Wondered where you got to? Regards Melbob
