Amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok’s streets, the giant sun seems to embrace the majestic Buddha statue of Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, radiating a brilliant glow. The golden-orange light bathes the city, creating a striking contrast between sacred tranquility and the frantic urban life below. The congested traffic, interwoven signs, and tangled wires reflect daily life, while the Buddha statue offers a sense of peace, a spiritual anchor amidst the constant movement of humanity. Stacked images of the sun and the Buddha statue, taken at 800mm focal length using a 400-800mm lens and a Sony A7 Mark V body.

GOP Rep. Sam Graves retirement pushes Republican House exits to 36 in 2026

Rats are leaving the ship…

“I expect more retirements," political scientist Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute told Newsmax earlier this year. "The House is not a pleasant place right now. If you are interested in governing – something that is not even on the radar screen for most Republicans in the body – there is not a lot to commend it."

@Neil E. Hodges Basically from a textbook "how to hit the enemy hard" Iran has targeted Radar stations and now this plane... deliberated priced targets to hit the USA most.
