Eerie Calm of Inundation
Just a quick note on the catastrophic floods in Thailand.
Once again, Nick Nostitz’s masterclass images, published as usually in New Mandala leave me in awe both for their technical virtuosity and eerie calm that has followed the inundation.
Let’s hope the people of Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and the rest of Thailand will be able to rebuild their lives. Also, let’s not forget the emergency warning services must be improved and disposed of political interference for the sake of those who have perished. Those who have erred and underestimated the scale of impending disaster in recent months in order to accommodate misplaced priorities of saving Thai Crown Property Bureau commercial landholdings must be named, shamed and brought to justice. Will they..?!
