Young monks at Wat Phra Kaeo in Bangkok, Thailand
While walking around the absolutely amazing Wat Phra Kaeo (the large, ornate, Buddhist temple next to the Grand Palace in Bangkok), a group of young monks came walking by. It was a shot I had to get and had only a split second to take.
City of Angels – Bangkok Thailand
I recently spent a week in Bangkok, Thailand. Based on a traditional Thai name for the capital established where present day Bangkok is, Bangkok’s nickname is "the City of Angels." A better nickname might be "the City of Monks."
There are may beautiful Buddhist temples and monks. Thai people seem to be very religious.
This photo was a spontaneous, candid shot I took near the Grand Palace. The symmetry and angularity of the way they happened to be facing for this split second couldn’t even have been choreographed if I wanted.
I took many candid street photos in addition to beautiful photos of some of the amazing places I saw. I will be posting them over the next little while, so please add me as a contact and come back!
The City of Angels – Bangkok, Thailand
The City of Angels is a traditional Thai nickname for Bangkok because that was the name of the capital established on the West bank of the river in 1782.
I just spent a week in Bangkok, Thailand. It was one of the most amazing and moving experiences I’ve had. I’ve never seen such wonderful beauty, and crushing poverty in the same place. It is the most exotic place I’ve visited yet.
Over the next week or two I will upload my "City of Angels" photos as I edit them.
I took this photo at Wat Phra Kaeo – a Buddhist temple of such grand decor that Disney would have trouble imagining or matching such place. It was truly amazing.
