Bangkok, Thailand. Approaching the main Suvarnabumi (Swampy) airport. Or is it Don Mueng? I forget tbh. Snapped coming in to departure, as the highway exit abruptly rises up to meet the terminal, giving this view above the runways.

Culturally inspired architectural lines of this Jakarta airport terminal roof match up perfectly with likewise inspired Indonesian tail-art of this airplane. All i did was spot the pattern, and composed it straight as possible!

Must be home, this beach looks familiar. One of my secluded spots, I'll tell you where if you are nice hahaha :)

Rare as rocking horse droppings, an original and proper (not a dressed up lesser model) Honda Integra Type R. Not going to see one of these everyday, the last place you expect it at some government or immigration building - doing something very mundane!

Hahahaha for a moment I thought how the heck did they get BitShares $BTS hats here in Bali ... then I realized, oh yeah, that pesky boy band that are bigger than the Beatles. And Jesus. Gawd. What a world.

Just having a quiet beer one evening, and this strange old man that looks like he lives in a hut on a farmers field comes up and sells me this giant grasshopper for 200thb. He had several more adorned all over his person, some in process of manufacture

It's that spot again, as the sun is going down over the mountain we are around December time.

Where in the world? Somewhere in Bali, on a totally random corner. I picked out this building because I was looking for something 'timeless'. The scene could be anytime in the past 60 years or more.

Lines and symmetry are the theme again right here. Nicely rounding off the lines here, modern Bangkok's metro systems all on one map. Some are greyed in this version, future stations - many of which are operating by now. This photo is 4-5 years old!

Play with symmetry, lines, and light ...


No particular theme today, just selecting what I feel are a set of 'best of' photos from the archives, most likely never shown here before. Followed by some musings, coffee time, thoughts that come to mind whilst veiwing each image. Anything they remind you of, as a set or individually - jot it in the comments :)


Keep Calm & Keep Shooting


One minute you're doing something totally benign, the next you are struck by the awe and wonderment of what falls in front of your eyes. A coincidental grouping of letters (BTS), footsteps in the sand, strange architectural symmetary, a handmade grasshopper, some perfect latte art, a shack that looks 100 years old, but it isn't, a subway map, and a hot rare Honda. These are just some of the most randomly memorable moments in time, from my travels.

Can you guess the locations? Different times, different beaches, different isles, different towns, different lights. Variety is the spice of life! So no particular theme today, other than scrolling through a whole bunch of my archived photos so they can emerge here on the HIVE blockchain for all to see. More details and why I liked each shot, in the photo comments.


Be Lucky!

Thanks for checking out today's special hand-picked selection of randomness from the @NewtonClassics photo archives.
