Photos

Here are some photos which I've been meaning to put up for a while. The first four are of our weekend in Phuket. You can see the drips of rain in the first but it does not give a true impression of the torrent of rain.




Above is the view from a cafe we sheltered in


Here is the DFP swimming in a waterfall


A truck drove into the post holding the power cables for our hotels and the others down the road we were staying in and we were plunged into darkness for the evening. Lots of local people came to watch as they worked deep into the night to try and get it up again while scooters drove over or around the fallen power lines, including ours.


Back in Singapore above a lovely nearby shop house and below a deity.




This is the temple down our road where all sorts of exciting things go on. A rehearsal for a Chinese opera seemed to be taking place and I wandered over to have a closer look but when I did a man came and smiled sweetly, bowed down hands clasped and then shut the doors. Religion eh? I thought it was supposed to be welcoming and doors open. But perhaps not when something is rehearsing and not ready for it's audience yet. That I can understand.
