Good picture ... she got cool earing

Nice!

very nice, 4th one down, my favorite. I love to visit Grand Palace.

You mean you were captivated by this specific girl.

Even the earlie pics are of her. Nothing else in the Wat that captivated you?

cool and imperturbable

Itamino - That's rather cynical. And, a little accusatory i think!

But no, that's not what i mean.

Having an interest in Hindu mythology, and the interpretation of it in Thai Buddhism, I'm often captivated by the statues, the Kinaree/Garuda/Nagas, the Yaksha and the Nok Tantima that Guards the Viharn Yod. The Phra Mondop usually throws up a few photo ops with good light and i always spend a little time gazing at the scale model of Angkor Wat, another place i am always captivated by.

But with over 150 pics on this visit i decided to choose this theme. Maybe you could look at some more of my photography?

And yes, the girl was very pretty. Hope you enjoyed the pics anyway.

On my last trip to Thailand i visited a big Temple just outside Bkk on a Buddha holiday.

I could quite easily have sat all day just watching the people pray.

Great pics brings back happy memories

i love the buddha image pics... and the light on the second close up pic of the girl is so perfect.
