The Temple of Dawn

[Michael13]

Wat Arun in Bangkok, as it was in 2006. 665nm converted Nikon.

The beautifully landscaped grounds.

Detail on the main Chedi.

Steep stairs to climb if you dare!

More of the ornate design.

Delightful palette for this place. I really like the view of the temple and the grounds in the first image. Amazing details up close in the remainder of the images. I'm sure smoking a lot will help the guards climb up and down the stairs all day

These are so great looking, I like this IR look.

And the detail in the temple is just amazing. How did they manage to create such intricate designs without using Autocad?

I was amazed at the high percentage of smokers everywhere I went in SE Asia!

The design and labor costs are way lower, or were way lower way back then.
