wishing lanterns
In Bangkok during Loi Krathong, as well as floating colourful krathongs into ponds and rivers, many Thais sent their wishes for the coming year skyward, much to the chagrin of local police. Perhaps they thought such festivities should be reserved for Yi Peng in Changmai? Or perhaps their enthusiastic dousing of people's firey wishes was out of respect for a recently passed religious figure. Still. Some wishes got away!

bright romance
Ice halos captured towards the end of a flight from Bangkok to Singapore. Flying through cirrus layers, a 22 degree halo appeared, joined by sundogs, which turned sharply into Parhelic arcs, vanished just as quickly - but followed by this beauty - a lower tangent arc (column crystals, light passing through the sides), normally hidden below the horizon: The arms of the arc only cross like this when the sun is about 15 degrees above the horizon. It lasted just a few seconds...
...but I was waiting!
