THe view from the balcony

These are photos from the balcony of Central World about two weeks ago when the French festival was in progress. There were activities from, end to end, from entrance from the BTS walkway to Isetan. Starting with exhibition titled. "Earth From Above" which is currently showing until September. Check out www.earthfromabove.com to learn more.

I took some photos of the exhibition its and plan go back and take some more. Just like I took pictures of the flat globe that depicts
the areas where the French photographer, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, traveled to capture the breathe taking pictures.

Taking the photographs from inside and slightly above the area gives you a different perspective of the whole exhibition. I have some interesting photos of the exhibition. I plan to go back again, very soon.

Next to the exhibition there was a concert of a local band. I have
no idea who was sing but people were hanging around listening to the music. A local band singing to the Reggae beat. If my memory serves me well, Reggae music is from the Carribean and not from France. It's all very ecceltic this festival.

Overall, the view from the balcony was interesting and surreal since its happening in the middle of Bangkok at the busiest intersection of Bangkok. But you can't see the view from down there, because its all happening about street level.

Next to the 'live exhibition' of beach chairs and people sunbathing, some in there bathies too. This is all very surreal . People sunbathing in the open - not next to the pool or the beach or even near a lawn. You can not sunbathe in the park here in Bangkok, it's against the law. But you can have an art exhibition with people sunbathing. How ironic.



To end it all, another picture of the fountain and photo exhibition. More photos on the fountain on a later date. Also, when I get sorted out with the housing situation, I will have more Bangkok photos for you.
