Ceiling detail above Buddha statue, at Wat Arun in Bangkok, Thailand. Also known as the Temple of the Dawn, perhaps so named because the first light of morning is reflected off the surface of the temple with a pearly irridescence. It is a buddhist temple (wat) located in the Bangkok Yai district, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River.
