That Luang Stupa

The Great Buddhist Stupa was built in the 16th century by Setthathirat on the ruins of an earlier 13th century Khmer temple. It was destroyed in 1828 by the Siamese invasion and later restored to its original design by the French in 1930. The architecture of the building consists of three levels, each conveying a reflection of part of the Buddhist belief.

hi Achim

Very good capture of this fine architecture work in lovely light. Good composed view for the golden roof to reflection part of the light to give contrast.

As much as you have traveled across the globe, you must have a large archive of photos queuing up for posting.
