Skywalk with a View

Looking through all my photos, I have a few photos of a different view. The following are photos of the skywalk at the Silom junction.

This the outdoor garden of Au Bon Pain at the Zuellig Building. Nice little niche between the cracks. I checked it out, small green hideaway in the middle of the business district. A place worth re-siting on the ground level.

I can't ait until I get my home situation sorted out. By then I will be inclined to go out on Saturday or Sunday afternoon with my trusty camera(s) to take pictures of my neighborhood.

Not very often I get to go to Silom area on the weekend--not even on the weekday to say the least. So I got on ground level and took some pictures of differnt things.

The Dusit Thani Hotel, the home of the 2005 Miss Universe Pageant. and the oldest fully Thai-owned and managed international chain of hotels. At any rate, back in the 70s, this building was the tallest building in Bangkok back then. Now, its a drawf among the skyscrappers mushrooming skyward in this city of Angels. Well, the landmark on the corner of central business district - Silom Road. A great spot, because it across from Lumpini Park. which is marked by the monument of King Vajiravudh or Rama VI. When I was growing up, this spot was as beautiful as it is at the present time.

Lumpini Park eill be another site where I should visit with my camera.
It's a lovely park and I should visit again, especially in the morning when people are out in droves, dancing tai chi, practice yoga, and floats through
the sound of music.

Before the construction of the 'Thai-Japanese' bridge, one would have a clear view of Rama VI statue. No roads, bridges or cars. Fortunately, I snapped a few photos and surreptitiously, caught one with cars or people. Unless you are standing in front of the statue, you can the statue through the tiers of road. An interest perspective, the roads create a frame for the picture, don't you think? When I was growing up, the monument was not crowded by the cluster of buildings on the background. There only a bunch of trees and green. It's very different now, forty years later. The
whole city have changed.

A similar perspective, but from another angle. The building the the
middle of it all. The BTS, the bridges and the roadway. Yes, I have to get out more. Cartoonize the picture and one might be able to imagine "The
Jettsons" sipping around the sky. The Jettson is one of my favorite futurist cartoon. They should be it back.
