Wat Arun in Bangkok

Well this is very different from Europe .The main Prang of Wat Arun in Bangkok this was taken from a boat on Chao Phraya River.

 

Wat Arun Ratchawaramahawihan the "Temple of Dawn") is a Buddhist temple in Bangkoks Yai district on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruna, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. Wat Arun is among the best known of Thailand's landmarks. The first light of the morning reflects off the surface of the temple with pearly iridescence. Although the temple had existed since at least the seventeenth century, its distinctive prang (spires) were built in the early nineteenth century during the reign of King Rama II.
