A quick 'mini vacation' from our Gat Luang project took us to the sleepy port town of Chiang Khong. In less than 24 hours we ate 4 fantastic meals and took in sunset and sunrise along the Mekong River. Not really what you would call 'action packed' but 'action' wasn't really what we were looking for. Chiang Khong, kindly delivered.
Confession time - as a rule I generally do not shoot 'wide open', but since I was shooting for myself I thought why not force myself to do just that. I used my 35mm f1.4 lens for these. Not 100% sure if I like the results. If you've got a comment let me know.
I like it Dave. Our little cruise down the Mekong from there to Luang Prabang on the wooden boat (w/painful wooden benches) was still one of our highlights of SE Asia. This captures all the scenes I remember of the river life. Makes me just get a little more serious about getting back there.

Thanks Deb. We have got to hook up over here. Chiang Khong was an unexpected surprise. The tourist boats seem to arrive in the evenings and leave early so basically we had the town to ourselves. Nice.
