"THE GUARDIAN OF THE TEMPLE FROM DAWN TO SUNSET"
El guardián del templo de amanecer dejaba hacer fotografías,
pero decorosamente vestidos para no perder el respeto de
los respetuosos lugares - con imágenes del mundo material -
para las creencias de mucha gente.
Me gusta y valoro la sensibilidad de los artistas fotógraf@s
por intentar inmortalizar la belleza.
Sunset afterglow surrounding Wat Arun, the 'Temple of Dawn', on the bank of Chao Phraya river.
Single exposure 0.6 sec. Classic iconic view of Bangkok, on a colourful evening way back in 2013. The skyline in the background will have changed a bit by now, and the temple looks different (in close up detail view) too after multi year restorations. Back then i had a drink in the roof bar and a tripod was ok :)

Actually one of several Chinese warrior statues located at the base of the main prang of Wat Arun.
Wikipedia: Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple in the Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand. It is situated on Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruṇa, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. Wat Arun is among the best known of Thailand's landmarks. Although the temple has existed since at least the 17th century, its distinctive prang (spire) was built in the early 19th century during the reigns of Rama II and Rama III.
Entrance hall with two Yaksha Guardians
"The yakshas [...] are a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent [...] They appear in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist texts, as well as ancient and medieval era temples of South Asia and Southeast Asia as guardian deities." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaksha
Unfortunately the famous central prang of Wat Arun was scaffolded for restoration works, when I visited Bangkok six years ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Arun

Wat Arun is one of Bangkok’s must-see landmarks, and when you visit it, you immediately understand why. I spent a total of three days in Thailand before and after returning from Bhutan. This temple has been photographed millions of times, but I wanted to capture my own image of it.

Wat Arun è uno dei luoghi imperdibili di Bangkok e, quando lo visiti, capisci subito perché. Ho trascorso in totale tre giorni in Thailandia, prima e dopo il ritorno dal Bhutan. Questo tempio è stato fotografato milioni di volte, ma io volevo avere una mia immagine personale.

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.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Wikipedia: The Thai greeting referred to as the wai consists of a slight bow, with the palms pressed together in a prayer-like fashion. It has its origin in the Indian Añjali Mudrā, like the Indian namaste and Burmese mingalaba. The higher the hands are held in relation to the face and the lower the bow, the more respect or reverence the giver of the wai is showing. The wai is traditionally observed upon formally entering a house. After the visit is over, the visitor asks for permission to leave and repeats the salutation made upon entering. The wai is also common as a way to express gratitude or to apologise.
The wai gesture originated in Buddhism and has similar origins as namaste in Hinduism. It was basically a yogic posture of the palms and signifies the equal meeting of the two palms. It means that the other party is treated as an equal human being.

End of 2016, when the central Prang was still scaffolded and being restored. I wonder if we will ever be able to travel again and if I will ever be able to admire and photograph the restored Prang.
In many cities in Austria, anti-vaccination activists are demonstrating against the upcoming introduction of compulsory vaccination and other government measures against the further spread of the coronavirus, claiming that the country is moving toward a dictatorship. However, I think that the government of Austria and other countries are being far too lenient with this disgusting anti-social and anti-community trash, who are mainly responsible for the spread of the virus through their refusal to vaccinate. These people should all be sent to a strict and strictly supervised quarantine, which ends only when a protective effect can be expected after a first vaccination. As long as these nauseating assholes do not get vaccinated, they should remain locked up in their dwellings.
Now I almost got angry at those morons;-)
