Today, Cee is inviting us to post pics of places people live .
De Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren is gorgeous. It’s a castle in the Belgian countryside in the small municipality of Geetsbets. The family who owns it still live in a section of the castle, the rest is a hotel and conference centre. I spent a week there in July on a course – there was no better place for that.
The back view of De Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren by one of the imposing entrance gates De Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren’s lake and rowboat. It would have sunk had anyone taken it out into the lake, as the wood at the bottom was rotting De Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren abounded with sunflowers I didn’t have a wide enough lens to capture the whole facade of De Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren – here is a part
This series is all about colours , and what better place to visit than Thailand, which is ALL about colour! It wasn’t easy choosing which photos to show here…people aren’t afraid of colour in Thailand! I think we can all take a leaf from the Thai people and embrace colour – I’m sure that our world will be a lot happier…
From the cars…
I loved the colourful taxis in Bangkok, yellow, white and pink. Thai people certainly aren’t afraid of colour… To the waiting area at the train station…
Waiting for a train couldn’t be more colourful – the large public waiting area, made less bleak by the colourful purple seats and murals close to the vaulted ceiling, at Bangkok Central Station The golden Buddha…
The golden Buddha at Wat Traimit weighs 5.5 tons (5,500 kilograms). It’s quite a sight A worshipper, praying at the feet of the golden Buddha at Wat Traimit …and chanting monks…
Chanting monks at Wat Po in Bangkok. It was so relaxing listening to them, I could’ve stayed there all day …to the temples…
The magnificent Wat Po temple known for its reclining Buddha, its feet covered with mother-of-pearl engravings of Buddhist symbols. This is also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage and waterfalls
One of the 7 levels of the unbelievably breathtaking Erawan Falls, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. Its seven tiers offer a unique experience at every climb, reaching up to 1,500m (4921 ft) Old trains
The old train, still with wooden seats painted in colourful yellow, takes us through part of the Death Railway where so many POWs lost their lives during the Japanese occupation in WW2 and hotel rooms…
A welcome sight after a day of travel and sightseeing…a colourful airconditioned room at the Good Times Resort in Kanchanaburi Buddhist statues…
One of the many Buddhist relics at this sacred temple, Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai …and temples…
Doi Suthep, a golden Buddhist temple outside of Chiang Mai on the Mt Doi Suthep is truly spectacular The dragon keeps vigil over the 300 steep steps to reach Doi Suthep temple in Chiang Mai …to motorbikes…
I couldn’t resist taking a photo of this motorbike, all colourful down to the helmet. Bikes in South Africa are serious colours like black, blue and red and fresh produce at the market.
Our Thai cooking teacher took us to the market in Chiang Mai to buy ingredients for the delicious dishes we later made for dinner I hope you’ve enjoyed these pics of Thailand, a colourful place to visit.
