As night follows day, a sunrise follows a sunset. Today's sunrise photo titled, 'A passage to Bangkok', was taken from a Thai Airways 747.
What do you do after a heavy storm? You mop up your courtyard, obviously (not). I was still bemused by what I was seeing, workers mopping up the rain soaked courtyard around the building housing the Emerald Buddha at the Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.
Today's photo is a wider shot of the scene I posted a couple of days back of storm clouds at the Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. The storm clouds are receding, the ground is starting to dry up and more people are out in the open, though many remain in the shelter of the pavilions.
With the rain moving away, I continued my exploration around the pavilions of the Wat Phra Kaew which lies within the walls of the Grand Palace in Bangkok. It's the home of the Emerald Buddha, not that I actually got to see that sacred carving on this particular day.
Once the rain had moved on, I was able to step out from my temporary shelter and resume wandering aimlessly around. I didn't have any set goal for that day, I had just decided to wander around the Wat Phra Kaew to see what I could see.
So I took the photo below during a shower while wandering around the Wat Phra kaew in Bangkok. Like pretty much everyone else, when the rain started bucketing down, I ducked under the roof of one of the pavilions to wait out the rain.
