Wire wires everywhere, ever wondered how they got up there?
#Bangkok #Thailand #wire #chaos #workers
This picture captures the chaos of overhead wires in Bangkok, Thailand. The utility pole is overwhelmed by a chaotic and dense tangle of communication cables, as one person standing at the top of a ladder and another is climbing the ladder. They are in the process of working amidst the complex wiring system, adding another wire to the tangled web.

Some things don't make any sense to me. #makethismakesense #Bangkok #Thailand

If you've visited #OneBangkok then you might agree that the place feels unwelcoming and sterile. And the first thing I thought of when I saw their "Onderous Christmas" advertisements was... It's too onerous a place to visit this holiday season (or whenever actually). #Bangkok #Thailand #Fail

#China #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #Micro43
A group of people are kneeling and praying at an outdoor Chinese Buddhist shrine in Beijing China. The air is hazy with smoke from burning incense visible in the air, contributing to a somewhat somber or contemplative atmosphere. Several people are kneeling with their heads bowed. Their posture suggests reverence. Their clothing is contemporary, mostly casual jackets and pants. In the background, other people are standing, also holding incense sticks. One woman is clad in a polka-dotted shirt and is holding her hands together, appearing to be praying. Others are dressed in various casual outfits, including jeans and jackets. In the far background, there are buildings and trees that are somewhat obscured by smoke and distance, suggesting a temple complex. The overall color palette is muted, with grays, blues, and browns dominating the scene, reinforcing the mood of quiet contemplation and respect. This image description was initially generated by AI and then reviewed/edited by the photographer who took the photo.

A boy and his ball in the park.
#Toddler #Ball #Park #Shanghai #China #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #Micro43
A close-up of a young toddler with a rather serious expression. The child is wearing a striped sweater and a baseball cap, and is holding a spiky red plastic ball. There is a slightly blurred adult woman visible in the background. The setting is outdoors in a park area with greenery and a tall building visible in the distance. The overall feel is candid and slightly informal, capturing a moment in the child's daily life. The focus is clearly on the toddler, and the slightly out-of-focus background emphasizes this. The red ball and the child's serious expression are the most striking visual elements. The image has a natural, unposed quality.

Cycling in Shanghai China.
#Cycling #Bicycle #Shanghai #China #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #Micro43
The image shows a street scene where several people are riding bicycles. The focus is primarily on a woman in a black leather jacket riding a bicycle with a basket, but other cyclists are visible further down the road, and a person on a bicycle is blurred in the foreground. The background includes tree-lined streets and glimpses of buildings. The overall impression is one of a peaceful, everyday scene in an urban setting.

Passage.
#B&W #Suzhou #China #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #Micro43 #Shadows
A black and white photograph of a traditional Chinese building entrance, viewed from outside. The entrance features a tiled roof with ornate eaves, supported by wooden beams and columns. The main doors are made of wood with lattice patterns, and they are partially open, revealing a glimpse of the interior and a person walking in the distance. Stone steps lead up to the entrance, and the foreground is paved with stone blocks. The image is framed by two dark, out-of-focus door frames on either side, which adds depth and perspective to the scene. The overall composition and the use of black and white tones create a sense of classic elegance and tranquility.

A black and white photograph of a very old looking historic district in Shanghai China. The perspective is from behind two women who are facing away from the viewer, further down the street. Both women are wearing backpacks. The street is paved with stone and the buildings on either side are tall and closely packed together, creating a sense of enclosure. The architecture of the buildings is a traditional Chinese with intricate and overhanging roofs. There are other people visible in the distance, also walking down the street,. The lighting is dramatic, with strong contrasts between light and shadow, which accentuates the textures and shapes of the buildings and the street surface.

A black and white image depicts an elderly man wearing a hat and glasses, seated outdoors. He's engrossed in a newspaper and his hand holding a lit cigar, from which smoke billows around his face. The overall mood is contemplative and slightly melancholic, enhanced by the monochromatic palette and the subject's posture. The focus is on the man and his readingand smoking.

A woman is standing in front of a large, latticed wall made up of many small, square openings which offer a view of greenery outside. The person is holding a camera up to their eye taking a photograph. The lighting in the image is dramatic, with strong contrasts between light and shadow, particularly noticeable in the shadow cast on the floor, which mimics the pattern of the window. The person is wearing a jacket, jeans, and carrying a backpack, and the overall atmosphere of the image is quiet and contemplative, focusing on the act of observation and the interplay between interior and exterior spaces.

My #Favorite photo from the last few weeks. The joy on their faces is heartwarming.

A young couple are standing behind a food stall selling fried chicken in Bangkok Thailand. The main focus is on two young people, a woman and a man, both appearing to be in their late teens or early twenties. The woman, with dark hair pulled back, is wearing a light blue-grey quilted hoodie. She is smiling and giving a peace sign towards the camera. Her expression is friendly and welcoming. The man, also smiling, has short dark hair and is wearing a royal blue soccer jersey with the rooster emblem of the French national football team. He is looking at the woman, and seemingly engaged in a conversation with her. His expression is equally cheerful and upbeat. The stall itself is simple and has several trays of fried chicken. The chicken looks golden-brown and crispy, appearing in two distinct styles: one darker and possibly glazed or with a sauce, and another lighter, suggesting different flavors or preparations. A handwritten sign in Thai indicates the price. The background is somewhat blurred but shows a rustic, slightly weathered building with various items hanging on the wall, suggesting a bustling street or market environment. The overall atmosphere is vibrant, busy yet friendly, and has a warm, sunny quality. The mood is clearly positive and cheerful, reflecting the smiles of the two young vendors.

A passenger train crosses the busy intersection at #Asok and #Phetchaburi roads in Bangkok on a busy weekday afternoon.
#Train #Bangkok #Thailand #SoutheastAsia #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #g9ii #Micro43
A yellow and orange train engine numbered 4221 is crossing at a street level crossing in Bangkok. The engine is positioned on tracks that intersect the road, with train passenger cars visible behind it. To the left, a blue bus and several cars are waiting. Overhead, a pedestrian bridge connects two sections of the city, and modern buildings rise in the background. It is daytime, with a mostly cloudy sky. The presence of traffic cones and road markings highlights the active use of the area by both vehicles and pedestrians.

The area has turned into Disneyland and lost the appeal it once had. I don't get why people go there anymore. Here's a photo from 2017-18. Quiet, a few small dress shops, and people's homes. #LeaveNoTrace #TourismGoneBad

A man is riding a bicycle along a section of the Hanoi train street in Vietnam. The train tracks run directly through a narrow residential area, with buildings closely bordering both sides. The man is pedaling his bicycle on the concrete path between the rails, seemingly accustomed to navigating this unique urban environment. The buildings are a mix of aged and weathered structures, some with peeling paint and visible signs of wear. The train tracks themselves are set on a bed of gravel, and they curve gently into the distance, suggesting they continue to be an active part of the city's infrastructure. This scene captures the everyday life and the unusual integration of transportation and residential space in Hanoi. The photo shows the calm and peaceful nature of the street in 2017, before it became an overrun with tourists.

It isn't Paris, but it is a photo of someone crossing the Saen.
#KhlongSaenSaep #Water #Boat #Bangkok #Thailand #SoutheastAsia #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #g9ii #Micro43
A yellow-orange barrier on Khlong Saen Saep currently positioned above the water. The barrier can be lowered if needed to help control the flow of water. In front of the barrier is a pedestrian bridge with a person walking across it. The bridge has graffiti on the barrier wall. The water is choppy and there's a boat visible in the distance heading away from the viewer. The banks of the waterway are concrete, with some signs of wear. On the right side, two people are partially visible.

Floating on a barge in the Khlong (canal) while operating a construction vehicle to remive an old concrete walkway.
#B&W #KhlongSaenSaep #Construction #Bangkok #Thailand #SoutheastAsia #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #g9ii #Micro43
A man operating a small excavator that is floating on a barge in the water. He is positioned in the driver's seat, gripping the controls, with a focused expression. The scene is captured in black and white, which emphasizes the textures and the contrast between light and shadow. The background is blurred, suggesting movement or a shallow depth of field, keeping the focus on the man and the machinery. The vehicle has Thai writing on it, and the overall composition and the subject's expression convey a sense of hard work and concentration.

Another #MakeBank project? This is where a (perfectly fine) walkway between #Benchakitti park and #Khlong Phai Singto used to be. There are so many places in need of their first walkway, why spend #Baht on this?
#Bangkok #Thailand #SoutheastAsia #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #g9ii #Micro43
A partially built concrete walkway heads away from the viewer's position. A yellow construction crane can br seen farther aeay. The walkway is in a patk area over water, and buildings can be seen in the distance.

The photo shows a street with traffic, in Bangkok Thailand. A motorcyclist wearing a t-shirt that reads "SORRY FOR WHAT I SAID WHEN I WAS HUNGRY" is in the foreground, riding away away from the viewer. The street has multiple lanes with other vehicles, including cars, a bus, and other motorcycles. The background features buildings of varying heights, suggesting a mix of residential and commercial areas. Green street signs with Thai script are visible, indicating the location or directions.

Thinking of doing a series on fire hydrants. I suppose these standpipes would be hydrant adjacent?
#FireHydrants #Plumbing #Bangkok #Thailand #SoutheastAsia #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #g9ii #Micro43
Three red fire hydrant connections, each labeled for a specific zone, have brass fittings and are positioned in front of a gray wall. Each hydrant has a small white sign at its base indicating its zone: "LOW ZONE," "HIGH ZONE," and "FILL TANK." Above the hydrants, a sign in Thai and English reads "หัวรับน้ำดับเพลิง FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION." The ground around the hydrants is covered with small gray gravel. These connections are part of a building's fire suppression system, allowing firefighters to connect their hoses and pump water to extinguish fires within the structure.

Two old homes full of life and one new high-rise full of air.
#B&W #OldVsNew #Construction #Bangkok #Thailand #SoutheastAsia #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #g9ii #Micro43
The image shows a stark contrast between old and new architecture in Bangkok. In the foreground stand two older, wooden houses with corrugated metal roofs, displaying signs of age and wear. The house on the left has a visible window and weathered wooden planks, while the house on the right has similarly aged wood siding. Laundry hangs outside on a balcony of the left house, suggesting it is still inhabited. In the distance behind the old houses is a large, unfinished concrete building that dominates the skyline. This building has multiple stories, with exposed concrete slabs and no exterior walls and looks abandoned. The contrast between the dilapidated wooden houses and the imposing concrete structure highlights the changing urban landscape and potential socio-economic disparities. The black and white tones of the photograph enhance the starkness of this contrast.

Situation normal in Bangkok as a customer selects pieces of cooked meat for the street food vendor to chop.
#SteetFood #Bangkok #Thailand #SoutheastAsia #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #g9ii #Micro43
A street food vendor in Bangkok is preparing grilled meats. The vendor, wearing a black mask and a black and white shirt, is standing in front of his chopping block and uses tongs and a cleaver to slice the cooked meat. Next to the block is a charcoal grill where the hands of another person holding tongs can be seen cooking. A man wearing a red and white Arsenal football jersey is visible on the opposite side of the cart, holding tongs and selecting meat to purchase.

A monk in an orange robe is walking away from the viewer through a dark passageway, his shaved head visible. To his right or a group of children walking towards the viewer, in silhouette against a bright colorful background of various images framed in gold frames and mounted on a wall. The framed images depicting scenes related to Buddhism and Thai culture. From the ceiling of the passageway are numerous hanging decorations, lanterns or ornaments, creating a patterned ceiling. To the left of the monk and further back, is a child with a motorbike. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and reverence, typical of a religious site.

A foreign "begpacker" is setting up to sell (or give?) photos or photo services. This was far from a tourist area where you usually see this kind of thing (which is likely illegal without a work visa).
#Begpacker #Bangkok #Thailand #SoutheastAsia #StreetPhotography #Photography #Lumix #g9ii #Micro43
A man is standing on an overpass, leaning over the railing to attach a sign that says "PHOTO!" in both English and Thai. There is some greenery growing on the side of the overpass, and various wires and cables are visible. The background includes buildings and trees. The person looks to be a foreign tourist.

@apnews.com Credibility in your reporting shaken by magnitude of 7.7. You say #Bangkok because:
1) clickbait - popular tourist destination that grabs attention
2) lazy - nearest place with active media so info and (lousy) footage very easy to get.

A misleading headline from AP News that reads, "Panic in Bangkok as strong earthquake hits". It is accompanied with a video paused on a frame showing the dramatic footage of a few paint chips that have fallen off the wall and onto the floor as evidence of the panic that beset Bangkok.
