Burning Incense
This is an incense burner that I bought on Koh Kred island; a small man-made island just outside of Bangkok, Thailand. It is home to the Mon community, known to be skilled potters. The island is small enough that you can go around on foot in about a couple of hours (no cars are allowed). The guide told us to walk so that the water was always to our left so that we would not lose our way. I of course realized at one point that the water was to my right … typical! In trying to find my way back, I stumbled upon this building that had pottery work as far as the eye could see. As I was taking photos, a woman grabbed my arm and lead me in to a row of four men who were spinning pottery … my own private showing!

Caroline Fournier replied
It was just a relaxing way to spend the day … we stopped at a temple and then a small restaurant right on the water and then to the island.

Have you heard about the new of Bangkok airport being closed due to a huge gathering of anti-government protesters outside the airport?
Caroline Fournier replied
Yes absolutely … been following that closely actually. The son of a co-worker was supposed to go to Bangkok in a couple of weeks and I had been pulling out information for them. Hopefully it will die down soon. Oh and I bought my flight to Cambodia for early April next year!! Woohoo!!

Terrific! The sepia really adds to it. Love the texture of the incense jar and the sense of movement with the smoke!
