Foto Flip Friday – October Theme: “Blue” (Week 2)

Welcome to a brand new edition of Foto Flip Friday – a selected showcase of photos dredged up from my bountiful photo archives and whittled into a pretty little “flip/flop” postcard each Friday. And to add to the fun, each month I’ll challenge myself to unearth a series of images that meet a monthly theme.

This month’s theme is the many luscious shades of: BLUE

This is the 2nd week of the “Blue” theme and I’ve unearthed another set of images from my travel photo archives – both from Thailand, but separated by nearly 20 years.

First up, an image in rich blue tones, snapped with my f.i.l.m. camera on my first trip to Thailand.  (do mouseover to see a short message on the back of each postcard).

(simply mouseover the image and watch the *magic!)

* Well o.k. for those viewing in IE, not so much a magical “flip” as a fading change. If you want to see the flip/flop, try viewing in Chrome or Firefox.
Plus a more recent (digital) image – snapped at the “White Temple” in Chaing Rai in northern Thailand. The temple is quite beautiful, but it is also known for some of the bizarre sculptures that surround it.  This pic is a close up of one of them:

All this month I’ll be rummaging through my archives for more “BLUE” images, so check back next Friday to see another flip/flop postcard or two from my past.

And meanwhile – if you’d like to submit a “BLUE” photo of your own (in landscape format, min. 700 px. wide), just upload it to an online source (e.g. your blog, Facebook, Flickr, etc – make sure the privacy settings are set to “public”), and post a link to it in the comments below.

Who knows?  I might just whittle it into a flip/flop digital postcard here!
