The Photography of Dr. Jeffrey P. Harper

My brother is visiting, so what better time than to play tourist and take him out to a scrumptious Thai meal in a beautiful environment.

A self portrait.

Thai style gardens.  Magnificent.

A Thai garden scene.

After dinner I popped on the cheap-but-good Canon 50mm f1.8 lense for some night image stalking.  It was a short walk through these dark alleyways to Silom Village, a tourist hot spot.

Bangkokians are out and about after the sun goes down.

Swapping lies, swatting flies.  It's good to have friends.

There is a mosque, a Hindu temple, and a Buddhist Wat all within 100 meters of each other in this part of Bangkok.  Here a hawker prepares halal street food.

Guys shooting the breeze across the street of the mosque at the Muslim Welfare Society office.

It was a beautiful night to be outside.  I could almost sense the beginnings of the "cool and dry" season (as opposed to the "damn hot and damn wet" season).

Imported fruits.

A nice evening for a walkabout in the Silom Village area near my wife's business. Buddha curios abounds.

I love the carved wood filigree . . . and have much of in in my home.

Thai tourist curios must be of the highest quality of anywhere in the world.

The Silom Village complex is very beautiful at night.  They have tried to recreate an old Thai village feel.

Old Bangkok.

Silom Village side streets.

Even though it is intended for the tourists, the music was good, and the musicians were well-intended.

There are still some beautiful old Thai style homes in th back streets of this area.

There is a Hindu Temple right across the street from Silom Village

The Silom Road Hindu Temple is spectacular at night.

The Hindu Pantheon in all is glory.

Garland sellers surround the Hindu Temple.

The life of a night guard is not so interesting . . . . .

. . . . but there is much to see at night around Silom Village.
