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.

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.
