One Year Ago Today;  was much different then today.
A whole new world.

Look at how quiet
​ it is in the old city of Chiang Mai Thailand, take note of the shuttered store fronts and empty streets. Now remember this is the main streets of Chiang Mai; the middle of the old city is even more vacant. On any normal Saturday, this area should be an annoying traffic jam. I have an extensive collection of videos of scooting around Chiang Mai traffic that date back to my first digital Leica in 2006 and I think a few digital videos from other cameras from years back. Film photos go, way back. I should make a little Chiang Mai traffic history post together.
Things will get better soon and soon
we will all be busy as ever; stuck in traffic.

​For those of you who cannot travel yet: I invite you to join me on one of my cold season holidays! In Thailand cold weather is a novelty and no better place to get cold then Mae Hong son. About 250 km from Chiang Mai, next to the border of Burma. As of last week it was a fridge 18 Celsius!
