After the rain had passed I stepped out to take more photos. Talk about a cloud as black as night! As the storm that had passed over us retreated, a brief glimpse of the sun lit up the gold on the pagodas at the Wat Phra Kaew and threw the scene into dramatic contrast with the stormy skies.

Have you ever had that experience where you go somewhere hoping to get some good photos only to find the location a building site? That seems to happen to me all the time. The image below is of restoration work being performed on the Wat Phra Kaew, back in 1989. Rather than try to avoid the scaffolding, I was able to incorporate it in this image.
