Wat Chiang Man at dusk. Chiang Mai, Thailand

If the clouds had not been moving in this shot, this may have been the most beautiful image I have seen lately. The colors are dazzling, very ominous. Very nice!

Buddhism teaches that the universe is a flux and

that everything is impermanent. I had that in mind

when I made this photo, and used a 30 second

exposure time (the most my camera could do) to get the motion in the clouds.

Very clever answer ;)

I really like this one. The dark, static buildings which themselves express some kind of power and might (to me at least) against the moving background of a wonderful, deep blue and bright white. Although the static things are a bit gloomy and dark, the sky fits perfectly into this picture and gives vividness! (8/8)

I like the shifting clouds, the sober yet vivid tone. I think it is great.

To get the stupas pointed straight up and all in the same direction you must use a normal lens for 35 mm which is 50-55mm.

I am not sure what Peter's comment mean, as

I don't see excessive convergence in my image,

which was not taken with the 24 TSE Canon for

nothing :-)

Thank you for the beautiful inspiration.

Good eyes...... better philosophy!.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love the clouds and I don't see any converging lines in this picture : it just works folks, admit it !

This is excellent! The spirituality of the place is conveyed so well by the strength and immobility of the structures against the moving clouds. The tones are perfect!

Hello Quang-Tuan Luong, I really like this photo, mysterious and moody. However, I am sure these are the tombs of the Lanna royal family at Wat Suan Dok. This does not take anything away from a well seen photo. Cheers MJ
