Allows Edits? NoSamsung Galaxy S10, unedited.
We were staying on the southeastern tip of Koh Pha Ngan for a short visit.
Specifically, we were in our favorite hotel on Haad Rin, home of the (in)famous Full Moon Beach Party.
However, this was the time of Covid, so no party.
My wife got an invitation to visit an old friend, who was staying at small place on the beach on the west side of the island, so off we went.
Small it was! Just barely enough room for one car at a time on the entrance “road” from the main drag to the Sea Tara Bungalows.
Once through that tiny passage, however, it opened up to a small lot, parking on the right, and bungalows on the left.
We took the short walk to the restaurant, which is just on the edge of the beach, and had a delicious meal with her friend.
Sunset approached, and what a view! I was lucky to get a shot of the flaming sunset, with the silouette of a longtail boat passing through the blazing Gulf of Thailand.
I love Koh Pha Ngan, and try to go there every few months. A great place to visit, if you are in the area.

Allows Edits? NoGreat shot, Rose Marie, with nice, vivid colors.
That is, of course, Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park, on Mt Desert Island. One of my favorite places on the planet.
The two mountains in the distance are “The Bubbles” – North Bubble in the background, and South Bubble (which my wife and I managed to climb (following a well worn path)) in the foreground.
A magical place, and your great photo took me back.

Allows Edits? NoSpillway of the Nong Thung Thong Resevoir
This is one of the spillways of the Nong Thung Thong Resevoir in Khian Sa, Surat Thani, Thailand.
I had to lean over the protective fence to get this shot.
I hoped neither my camera – nor me – would slip and join the rushing water down the spillway, and into the tunnel under the road behind me.
I would have emerged from the drain pipe on the other side of the road, tumbled into the Bang Tok Creek, then drifted along the Khan Bet river, which is a tributary of the Tapi River – the longest river in Southern Thailand (230 km (140 mi)).
Having been swept into the Tapi, I would have kept floating along, and eventually found myself (and hopefully my camera, still around my neck) dumped into the Gulf of Thailand at Bandon Bay.
Who knows? Maybe the outgoing tide would take me all the way to Koh Samui!
