Bridge Over River Kwai & Memorial Park (Thailand)

[zio]

Went to Thailand a while back and of course, took quite a number of shots. This is a HDR series of two of the places I went, the Bridge Over River Kwai and WWII Memorial Park located on the outskirts of Bangkok.

1. This is the bridge itself. It actually has a railway track that runs across it. It was built by POWs back in World War 2

2. Of course, you can walk on the bridge

3. Went for a different angle, by placing my camera almost on the railway track itself. The strap actually went in between the tracks and nearly got caught onto it :P

4. The train service is actually still running but I am not sure if its just a tourist gimmick

5. And of course, what is a tourist place without street food? She had good grilled sotong!

6. Next, after the Bridge, we visited the WWII Memorial Park. It was more touching for the Australians in our tour as they were actually history teachers. So they knew more about it than we did.

7. It was a memorial for the people who suffered as POWs and built the bridge

8. The graves are lined up neatly and the park is well-maintained

I used 24-70mm for the first shot, and then I used fisheye for the rest :)

Kinda guessed it only becoz the top and bottom horizons are curvy ;)
