Early morning- 7:30 or so.. The best light of the day is around 7-8 a.m. After that the intense sun's glare washes out colors and haze mutes the sky blues. Even when there is nothing special going on I head over to the wat around 7:00, camera in hand, a few times a week. Early mornings in Chiangmai are beautiful- the light, the cool, fresh air and the birds songing it up!
Overnight the stairs on all four sides were almost complete, the base rough but fully enclosed, and the 2nd tier up and enclosed as well.
The two people, lower right, give you some idea of the scale. They are looking into an open well enclosed by a circular brick wall. During the monsoon the water rises almost to ground level but now it's probably 12-15 feet down.
The main wat on the left was recently reconstructed- new tile floors, beams, rafters and facing replaced, everything reglassed and freshly painted, and the entire roof retiled. It was a huge undertaking and fascinating to watch it progress over the course of the several years it took to complete. Early mornings and some evenings, the sounds of the monk's chanting drifts into my apartment.
Just a reminder.. you can enlarge these photos by clicking on them. Click on them again to downsize them. You can also view them in sequence without the comments using the film strip at the bottom. It's really satisfying being able to do this!
