I’m finding some very cool, disused staircases to photograph in Laos. #luangprabang #lao #staircase

I met a nice Lao grandmother cooking breakfast, this morning. 😊 #luangprabang #lao

Passenger, sort of, sharing my Tuk-tuk ride home last night. 😄 #luangprabang #lao

Tonight I enjoyed a Dragon Parade, consisting of a few dozen dragon floats. The behemoth creatures have framework formed using thin bentwood and covered with colored tissue paper, then lighted inside by dozens of candles. And, witness - they are flammable, too! #luangprabang #lao #dragonparade

I have seen butterflies with similar patterning - but the coloring is a blue on black, instead of yellow. I haven’t been able to photograph it yet, but I will keep trying! 😀

A beautiful Lao butterfly, seen here in a photo I captured in northern Lao, as my guide and I hiked a trail in the rural countryside. These butterflies come in a wide range of brilliant colors, and are quite flighty, and difficult to capture in a photo! 😀 #butterfly #butterflies #lao #photography

The scene, today, traveling up the Nam Khan River, near Luang Prabang, Lao. Now one of my favorite place to go, in the world - This is my second visit in the past 12 months. I highly recommend travel in northern Lao! The scenery is fabulous, the people so kind. ❤️ #namkhanriver #luangprabang #lao

Laotian women carefully sort thru Marigolds they commonly purchase for decorating family shrines, and other expressions of cultural decoration. #lao #laos #culture #marigolds #luangprabang #outdoormarket #morningmarket #laoculture

SE Asia is one of my favorite location to visit. Right now I am in Bangkok where there is an infinite number number of photo ops available to a photographer. #bangkok #watarun #thailand #photography

I have yet again come to Thailand. Here’s a photo taken from our plane as we are on the landing approach for the airport in Bangkok. I am impressed by the use of arable land I’ve seen next to large cities in SE Asian countries - it creates great farm to market access! #thailand #bkk #bangkok

A photo taken just a few short, rustic pathways from the mass of humanity that typically occupies the Medina, in Marrakech, Morocco. #marrakech #morocco
