Bangkok is a bustling modern city. Actually, bustling is an understatement. The level of activity in Bangkok borders on madness. There are also much older and quieter areas that are simply beautiful. We didn’t have to walk far from out hotel to find plenty of both!



The old part of Bangkok is just a few steps away. Many large houses sit in walled properties with elaborate entrance gates on the side streets. Some of the entrance gates look ancient, and some just look worn out. I could see the entrance below from our balcony so I grabbed my camera and went to take a look. The original gate had been replaced years ago and the current one wasn’t much to look at. Many of them have a separate entrance that callers use. That turned out to be my “shot”! It was so old looking I decided to process the image to enhance the oldness.

I spotted another walled property further down the street. This wall had gap in it. I spotted this collection of discarded pots through one gap and thought it made a perfect composition!
