180澃 view in the past..., a photo from Ayutthaya, Central

Photographer's Note

Ayutthaya (full name Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thai: พระนครศรีอยุธยา, pronounced [pʰr�ʔ na.kʰɔ̄ːn sǐː ʔa.j鷗.tʰa.jāː] (Pronunciation); also spelled "Ayudhya") city is the capital of Ayutthaya province in Thailand. Located in the valley of the Chao Phraya River, the city was founded in 1350 by King U Thong, who went there to escape a smallpox outbreak in Lop Buri and proclaimed it the capital of his kingdom, often referred to as the Ayutthaya kingdom or Siam. Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai.[1] It is estimated that Ayutthaya by the year 1600 CE had a population of about 300,000, with the population perhaps reaching 1,000,000 around 1700 CE, making it one of the world's largest cities at that time,[2] when it was sometimes known as the "Venice of the East"

Hi,

This is an excellent panoramic shot of Ayutthaya; I as there and captured some great shots, but this is by far the best way to feature this magnificent ancient city.
TFS,

Hi Nikos
This is a beautiful presentation of this ancient place taken with a view that gives a real sense of scale and place. There is a lot to view and enjoy in this fine shot with great light.
Best wishes
