Hundreds of thousands of Thais pay homage to King Bhumibol Adulyadej during his birthday celebration. At sunset, everyone raises their candle and sings to their king. The chorus of voices is breathe taking. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha stands in the back ground.
Unless one has visited Thailand, there can be no true understanding of how much the Thais love and respect their king. He is their compass. The country wears yellow every Monday to honor the man who has worked for his people and every year they celebrate his birthday. The sense of union and harmony that night is one of those treasures that reassure us that we can live in peace. My heart went into over drive knowing that it was time to record this night and attempt to create an image that communicated the awe striking harmony among such a large mass of people. I got lucky with a surprise fireworks show that seemed to complement the sea of candles and the voices of the angels singing to their king.
"As we learn to embrace our similarities,
we can rejoice in what makes us unique." - Curtisvisionขณะที่เราได้เรียนรู้ที่จะยอมรับความคล้ายคลึงของกันและกัน
เราสามารถที่จะปลื้มปิติในสิ่งที่ทำให้เราแตกต่างกัน
