A wider than average on camera panorama of ... a stunning Thai sunset.

One wintry day I was walking along the canal ... this mooring for a canal house boat caught my eye.

https://doncharisma.org/2015/10/15/canal-boat-mooring-1226/

For me this really captured the spirit of the moment ... and local customs/ways of doing things in Thailand - fuel being sold for mopeds in used whiskey bottles !

Sunsets are usually taken in landscape format ... rule breaker that I am, sometimes I like to capture in portrait instead.
