Photograph taken at sundown in Vang Vieng, Laos.
sunlight washes out
 the distant mountains; 
  they look like
 an old Chinese painting --

Photograph taken at Don Mueang Temple in the north Bangkok suburbs, features waterlilies in the fore and guardian statues in the background. 
The dragonfly strafing lilies 
 doesn't know how very silly
 a bantam taller than a ram
 seems to a ram tall as a filly.
