Hot Waterfall

The aptly named “Hot Waterfall” is one of the more unlikely attractions in southern Thailand's Krabi province. Water from a hot spring flows briefly through the jungle before flowing down a bank into a small river. Minerals (I'm guessing mostly copper from the color) have aggregated over many years to form deep pools good for soaking.

Water cascades over some naturally formed tubs.

Sanam Chan Palace

Just west of Bangkok in Nakohn Phathom is the rather whimsical Sanam Chan palace. Built in the early twentieth century, the palace has a very European layout but some buildings show more Thai incluence than others. This doorway is in the Vajariromaya Residence reception room.

Ayuthaya Flower

A throwback to my last visit to Ayuthaya, the old capital of Thailand, in 2010. I found this frangipani blossom just blooming, with an old pagoda in the background. Frangipani Blossom

Umbrella Falls

It's the time of year when I usually try to organize a hike to Umbrella Falls on Mt Hood. It's a nice hike across meadows that are ski slopes in winter, and if you're lucky there are ripe huckleberries to snack on along the way.

Vimanmek Mansion

Vinamek Mansion in Bangkok is a marvelous attraction that often gets only a quick visit, when it can be worth a whole day to see all the other palace buildings in the compound. One wing of Vimanmek Mansion

Falls Creek Falls

So good they named it twice. Getting to the falls requires a short hike so it's less visited than some of the other spectacular falls in the Gorge. Located in Gifford Pinchot National Forrest, north of Stevenson, Washington. Falls Creek Falls
