[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The rooflines in Thailand and elsewhere in Asia seem to be a blend of art and function. This is a roof of one of many buildings inside a Wat near the river in Bangkok.

A wat (derived from the Pali word avasa as well as from the Sanskrit word avasatha) is a monastery temple in Cambodia, Thailand or Laos. The word "wat" (Thai วัด) (sometimes rendered "vat" when referring to Laos) means "school." Strictly speaking a wat is a Buddhist sacred precinct with monks' quarters , the temple proper, an edifice housing a large image of Buddha, and a structure for lessons. A Buddhist site without a minimum of three resident monks cannot correctly be described as a wat, although the term is frequently used more loosely, even for ruins of ancient temples.

Hi Murray

Good sharpness and nice tricolours. Effective framing, with an abstract look * feel. A marvellous blue sky. Bkk air quality has improved a lot, since skytrain started.

Hello Murray,
Great colours. Excellent sharpness and composition with this architecture. Well done.
Best regards,
Fabrice

They really are wonderfully artistic. I have seen many beautiful roofs in Burma, from buildings surrounding pagodas to airport facilities as the one in Sitwee. The colour combination on your picture is superb. Red, white and blue always combine well and give good pictures. The sharpness is perfect too. I love it. Well done.

A nicely observed detail, Murray, and nicely exposed too. I like the refreshingly simple and bold composition and the fresh colour. regards kevin

Hi Murray, You have captured the artwork of this roof beautifully & the vivid colours help to create a really wonderful piece of work, you managed the strong light very well, as some of the beauty could easily have been lost, that sky makes a nice finish to this warm photo, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Murray,

A good contrast between the colors of the sky and of the roof structure. The point of view is showing with precision the details and colors of the architecture of the upper part of the building. The subject is nicely frame. Have a nice day.
