[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I went to Bangkok during the Songkran festival. It's so cool. Everyone is splashing water at each other. Anyway I took the ferry from the pier opposite Hilton to travel to Wat Arun, also known as Temple of the Dawn. It's the same thing actually. Just different translation. The pagoda was built because the Thais believe that gods and angels travel to earth on that point. In my own interpretation, this pagoda serves as an elevator for the gods and angels. It should be more convenient for them. (Hopefully I don't get struck by lightning). Ok, I accidentally caught the bird on camera while it's flying towards the pagoda. I have many people asking me what the heck that black dot is. I don't wanna erase it out because it gives personality to the photo although it looks more like a dirt than a bird.
