Independence Day Bangkok 2008

The picnic was great. People I did not even know smiled at me, greeted me, and engaged in conversation. There was not one arrogant person that I came inot contact with.

Nothing like the normal rude, overbearing and superior attitudes I get from other farangs around Thailand.

It was quite refreshing!!!!

Great pics Chi. Must have been in Thailand too long. Missed the addition of 4 states!

My camera has a 'Fireworks' setting on it. I'll have a look at the settings if I remember on Monday and post them here.

I thought your fireworks shots were OK. Especially the second one.
Long shutter speed (1 sec+) is the key.

Missed the addition of 4 states!

Looks like the sponsors outnumbered the states. That can only be good.

These were taken from the back of a moving tuk-tuk. Sure you can see the movement, but I think it adds to the photo somewhat.

Sorry for the hijack.

Not at all!

Nice pics.

I wish mine had turned out like that.

Nice pics Marmite, they appear to be right over your head. Bugger the power lines.

Good bit of moderating here too.

Thanks for the pictures, Chitown.
I would have liked to go to Berlin for the 4th of july as they opened the new embassy but did not hear from it until I saw it on tv.

I just wonder, they applied US drinking laws in Thailand?
