Demons and monkeys Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Grand Palace is one of the big tourist attractions in Bangkok, a “must see” for any visitor and it’s easy to spend several hours exploring this amazing complex of temples.

Here are two of the many demon and monkey caryatides that adorn the lower levels of the golden stupa (see WORKSHOP) outside the Royal Pantheon at the temple of the Emerald Buddha. Each of the caryatides is different and stand about 400mm tall.

Hello Chris,
A well captured view with great clarity and sharpness, beautiful and also very interesting to see. The light allowed you to capture all folds and details of the gold covered wall.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Chris
I always find monkeys had to photograph because they won't pose correctly but no problems here - very well captured with great clarity and colour.
cheers
Ian
