Noah's photos of the flood

“Global warming is melting the ice cap and the rising sea level will soon sink Bangkok,” “excessive pumping out of ground water predisposes Bangkok to sinking” and this year’s monsoon rains has caused epic flooding in Bangkok are three legitimate reasons that have Bangkokians anxious and nervous… and I’m caught in the midst of it.

I could have been miles away - across the ocean in the Philippines reading about this flood in the papers, but that would mean being deprived an experience of catastrophic proportions. Now I’m marinated in this deluge, struggling to maintain the balance of work, family and an inundated home… and I’m relishing it.

So what can I do about it? Ah yes, take photos and write about it from my own presbyopic point of view.

The photos displayed here are predominantly from my cam with a few of someone else’s, but definitely in the areas within my small immediate community. Photos of the greater area of the flood can be accessed in the internet.

we were actually steeped in this filthy deluge for 3 straight weeks.

2 gorgeous ladies dropped in at bangkok one day and asked me to take them around. not only did they make me momentarily forget the flood... they inadvertently opened a nostalgic window to the past - a chapter in my life that has been and will be in my heart forever.

the photos are from my cam, which i managed to shoot while also clicking from their cam. this will explain why i dont have photos of the other places that they visited.

this album is for you GAW!
