I agree. They are good pics even though you aren't quite happy with them as they are. It looks almost like what you might imagine Shangri-la to look like.

Indeed they are! And these are only outcuts from a moving video ... and only from the "wrong lighting". Wow!

Thanks, guys. Keep in mind, all I do is press the shutter button. Nothing more. God and man do the hard part creating it. I'm really getting excited about going back early Friday morning to get the 'right lighting.' I owe the discovery of this place to my wife. She's the one who spotted reflections of one of the domes poking through the jungle canopy. Then we just followed a compass bearing zigging and zagging until we found the entrance to the complex.

Critch, it could well be Shangri-la, or at least Shambala! It had a magical feeling about the place as we wandered around. Such a huge site and almost deserted, as if one had to have special permission to find it.

I wish I could go back tomorrow, but some friends want to go boating and I'm committed. Then Thursday we're having an impromptu mid-week fencing meet. So much to do... so little time.

I'm very tired.
Usually the Saturday before Christmas is the busiest day of the year. But today was even busier! Almost 120 paying customer, plus the ones who didn't buy anything. My feet hurt! But the customers were great today so time flew by.

Tomorrow will be a lot quieter (if previous years are anything to go by), a lot of people are busy preparing for Christmas dinner, doing the last of the grocery shopping. Which isn't a bad thing. Half of the shipment that came in on Friday still needs to be checked, tagged and put away. Plus the two shipments that came in yesterday and the one that comes tomorrow, so I won't be bored.

I think I deserve a hot chocolate milk now, with a dash of hazelnut syrup. Yum.

Finished decorating the gingerbread. A selection of our festive efforts: Smaug, Gandalf, Sam, Bilbo, and generic Dwarf; Bikini Woman and Speedo Man (annual favourites ); Og, Thog and Bog - the cave people; Nanook, Nyla and Allegoo - the Inuits.

Reading a HP fan fic. Earlier I did some clean up of the Zane Grey collections that I posted some time back. I made some neater TOC's for them.

That Bilbo does look just like me actually

Christmas Day and the Chiang Mai Fencing Club held a special 'epee only' afternoon. We had a visitor join us from the UK, someone training for the Modern Pentathlon. Epee is one of the five events in it. He wasn't bad, but he didn't do too much winning this afternoon. Five fencers, three of us over 65, and we all won our matches against him. (In all fairness to him, we do have a very strong club.)

Maybe I should train for the Modern Pentathlon? Nah... I can ride and I can shoot and I can fence. I've taught all three. Can't run worth beans, and broad jump... I don't think I ever tried it.

Time to relax with a big mug of tea!

It's cute to watch occasionally, but I can't stand the narrators voice.

Finishing up a video I shot of our boating/eating trip yesterday. Two friends and I went to a large reservoir that has some floating houseboat guest houses on it. We hired a boatman to take us out to one of them so we could have lunch there, relax on the water, and just chill... Which we did! Three old men, a lake, a houseboat, and sun. This is how we have lunch in Thailand.
