hey dudes!
today I woke up early and went out to see the famous Chiang-Mai flower festival. It takes place each year in early february and last for three days. Today I took pictures of the magnificent parade, where hundrets of people present themselves, in traditional Thai dresses, as well as with music instruments or artistic shows. The quality of the presentations was surprisingly good, not to say very good. For example a brass orchestra of maybe 50 children of around 10 years played songs like "Can't take my eyes of you" or "Pretty Fly for a white guy" in a special arrangement with so much feeling for rhythm and interpretation, that I was heavily impressed.
I further must admit, that I am more than satisfied with the quality of the pictures my brandnew Canon 400D takes. I guess this could be the beginning of a wonderful relationship. :-)

But now I don't want to bother you anymore, just have a look yourself!

Hi Marius,
Thanks for posting this really beautiful pictures of the so called Chiang-Mai flower festival. I must admit that I had a different image of Thailand. I am very pleasant surprised.
Well, enjoy the further time in Thailand, gain a lot of experience and do not forget about the 90 percent. :-)
Cheers!
Jörg

@Katy: very nice to hear from you. i wish you could come over to visit me and jozef, then we could make an australian reunion. and of course, only english must be spoken!
Chiang Mai is a beautiful place indeed. I spent my honeymoon there in 2005!
