Prayer
Before sun rise a lone monk prays toward The Dhammakaya Cetiya which contains the relics of the Lord Buddha at Wat Phra Dhammakaya.
The temple is 1,000 feet (304 meters) and lost in the darkness of the night. At night, the temple is illuminated, but in the pre-dawn hours, there are no lights.
I also shot a long exposure to show the temple, but in the end, this image connected with me for the symbolism. Religion is faith in something we cannot see or prove – a believer looks into the darkness and sees.
