CONCRETE JUNGLE, a photo from Bangkok, Central

Photographer's Note

I always refer to the big Capital Cities as the Concrete Jungle..... I know that there are a few exceptions but.......
perhaps...... anybody that lives in Australia .... so close to nature.... will tend to agree with me...... more so than ...somebody that lives in New York
anyway...... this photo takes the price....... it really reinforces the appropriate name that I have choosen

You made your point very well. this stretch of elevated highways almost looks like a concrete locust having just landed above the traffic. A definite spoiler for any idea of the exotic east!
(the picture is taken across from MBK shopping mall, and also the new center for modern Arts (with the knocked down mega trash can).

Hi Gus
i remember this very well, i visited here a few years back. and this is exactly how i recall it to be.
amazed by the total contrasts in the city, poverty and also modern high end technology.
love the bold thick concrete here.
strong statement visually.
cheers
