Photographer’s Note
The Royal Pantheon and one of the two golden stupa from the Grand Palace, Bangkok. Constructed between 1856-60, the building was originally designed to house the Emerald Buddha. Unfortunately it was found to be too small to hold many of the ceremonies associated with the Buddha and so was left vacant.

hi Chris
Gold, gold, gold! There aren't many places in the world where the gold finish is still there - it makes the buildings glow.
cheers

Hi Chris
Ah the Wat Phra Keow, the royal monastery, where no monks are living. It's a different shot with visitors coming out walking towards the camera, so that the viewer gets the proportion right. It's a tall temple. Nice framing and execution. Well done
Best regards
Urs
