Evening Yangon, with the stunning (and un-sharp, sorry) Shwedagon Pagoda at the top.

From the Air.89

More of the Andaman Sea coastline as seen approaching Penang Island back in late July (above), with more of west-coast peninsular Malaysia as seen from the same flight, below.

From the Air.88

From my RGN-BKK flight early last Friday: above, the bigger stem of the Iriwaddy (Ayeyarwaddy) River delta as it reaches the Andaman Sea south of Yangon. Below, the branches and islands of the same river delta a bit to the west, where it forms the border between Yangon & Ayeyarwaddy regions. Readers know I’m a total map nerd and LOVE seeing the flat map appear in 3D out my (blurry, for which apologies) airplane window.

Mountains.88

Seems I’ll need to let this series sleep for a bit, since there’s no travel currently in my schedule that’ll take me near mountains, unless I get lucky on a flight again. :-/ Alps in Switzerland or Austria on my way home from Rome, back in June.

Small Wonders.278

Lake Living.78

These are your first glimpses of the Castle and Park at Rosendael, a town just uphill from Velp where you may recall I spent two lovely nights at the end of my August bike tour of Central NL.

Ah, Royalty.68

Thailand’s King Rama IV is recognized for many things including the accurate prediction of a total solar eclipse in August 1868, indicative, one reads, of his ability to move Thailand towards modernity and resist Western colonial expansionism through diplomacy. Amongst many legacies, he’s remembered in this statue at Bangkok’s Lumphini Park, and, yes, The King & I. 🙂

County Views.168

King County, NY is more commonly identified as Brooklyn.
