[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a picture sight of what you'll see in many Thai temples. The three leveled roofs make interesting lines, so if you add an object in the foreground, it's always a good source of fun ;o)

I took this one in Wat Benchamabophit, also called the "Marble Temple". It was my first day in Bangkok and I was really happy to find a quiet place to escape the noise and the harrassing people trying to sell me some tuk-tuk rides (the temples where I wanted to go were suprisingly all closed... ;o). The ground of the temple is made out of white marble which offers some nice reflections. The temple also contains the ashes of King Rama V, who actually made built this place in the late 19th century. Like many temples, it's also a real place for living with a monk community, a school, etc...

Don't worry, I quickly got used to Bangkok's madness and mess, and actually in the end liked it pretty much ;o)

Hope you'll like this picture

Salut Clement,
Minimalistic but very colourful shot. I like the POV and the vivid colors. I like all the lines and unusual lamp, well placed in the whole image,
regards,
maki

What a creative and simple composition. The colors are bright and the detail is sharp, bringing out the texture of the roof in the background. Thankyou for all the background information. Nice job! -Lara

Bonjour Clément,

Très belle image graphique! Les couleurs et la netteté du toit sont bien rendus.

Merci

Hi Clement,
I like this graphical shot from the old building of Marble Temple. With this crop you created something new and even modern.
Good idea and realisation.
