[Note Guidelines] 艺术家笔记
The Wat Mai was the original home of the Buddhist leader, Phra Sangkharath, and is a standard of the Luang Prabang style of religious architecture. The building was inaugurated in 1788 after taking 70 years to construct. Golden gilded relief panels covering the front facade tell the story of the highest incarnation of the Buddha The relief panels look like a monolithic wall of gold.

The roof of the veranda is supported by black columns stenciled in gold. The black of the columns contrast brilliantly against the gold wall

Fantastic! I remember that particular temple, and you found a great compo with those details, how beautiful to see again and again. You have nicely captured the artwork, for us to appreciate. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Angshu,

Although this is kind of a reproduction, I know well that it is not easy to get such a beautiful picture. Colors and sharpness are excellent, and besides, you did so well to include the left side.

Good Job - Izzet Keribar

This is a beautiful shot, the sharpness and colour is so striking. Fabulous, especially the decision to include the column in the left.
Nice One!

Bonjour Angshuman
This is a perfect take: Beautiful light and fine details on golden panel.
Sight of black column counterbalances well the embossed illustration of a temple.
Much interesting document and note.

Hi Angshuman,

A good POV of the golden gilded panels of the Wat Mai temple. The photo has good details and nice colors.

HI Angshu
Great view of this art. The golden colours are mind blowing. Enjoy every bit of it. Lot of details to ponder. An excellent document on Buddhist architecture of Wat Mai.
Regards

Hi Angshu - I saw this totally by random and had to open the golden thumbnail, it did not disappoint, fantastic detail, I hope I can include a visit to Laos during my upcoming trip. I still haven't solidified the itinerary, there is 3 weeks in Indonesia in the beginning, and a 3 week trek period in Nepal starting late October, but in between?? Originally I intended to go to China and enter Nepal thru Tibet, but the costs and chinese bureaucracy are deterring me, maybe I will spend the time in India instead (Himachal Pradesh loop + Amritsar). After Nepal I can either go back to Delhi, then travel to Gwalior- Orchha-Khajuraho-Varanasi-Boghdaya-Kolkata, and fly to Bangkok - OR - skip India and fly to Bangkok via a few days in expensive Bhutan, and have time to fly to Laos after Bangkok, so many decisions, so little time.
