Six more posted to Flickr. This is possibly my favorite photo of the 2,000 or so I took there. It's Bangkok, Loi Krothong night (full moon) and I took the monorail to the end of the line, Taksin Bridge. Walked across the bridge which was mobbed with people watching the lit up boats on the Chao Prya River. At the other end of the bridge, down several flights of stairs, hundreds of people were lining up to get to the one dock where you could actually launch a krathong into the river. Lots of children, and for many (like this one) it was their first festival.

That is a fantastic picture. I think you should try submitting it to a magazine. I can totally see it in life or National Geographic.

Much Grass, kind sir. I am looking into publishing my travelogue as a photo book, the kind people keep on the fancy glass-top table in front of the sofa. Just need to find an agent (because it's considered rude in the publishing world to handle one's self)
