Tell us anything else you would like to include about photography.
The rainy season in Thailand is wonderful. It creates a special mood for photography. I took this shot in an old town, Songklaburi, where the longest 400-meters wood bridge in Thailand was build 30 years ago by monks. Every year during a flood, water levels of the river of Sangkalia rise and the bridge sometimes turns out to be in water. Rains in Thailand are headlong and I had to hide in a cafe and take the picture from a verandah. It was daytime, but it was cloudy and rainy, so I couldn't see a village on the other side of the river.
