The The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) building is one of only a few tall buildings in this part of Bangkok. It offers beautiful views of a beautiful city.

Winter Weekend in Amsterdam

The reason I created this blog was so that I would have a place online to share my travel and photography experiences. Sometimes, if my work schedule becomes too hectic my photography and blog take a back seat to my professional commitments.  As spring is quickly approaching the rest of the world, I wanted to post some photos from a short weekend trip to Amsterdam I took during February of 2014.
