It is like extending a curl of friendship.
Beautiful shot!
Thanks Indrani. Great comment and analogy, but what happens next? Does it wraps itself around you and then slowly strangle?
I think the curl of friendship hypnotises you and then makes you fall over. It was either that or the Chang… hehehe. I love this shot. Beautiful crisp and clear!
You were looking at it upside down. Can you remember the Thai word for pumpkin? Was tempted to title it that but…there seems to be lots of rather conservative people on this site
