Photographer's Note
A National Artist, Churlumchai is constructing this new temple as an act of merit in the northern province. The temple is built all in white and is very ornate. Glistening in the sunlight, it looks more like a building of fantasy or dreams than of stone. The temple attracts huge numbers of pilgrims every day and they have to cross this bridge of white marble surrounded by cascading fountains to reach the temple.

Hello Kevin,
This photo really does look like a fantasy. I like the detailed artwork on the marble, and it is wonderful how you captured the water so symmetrically on each side of the bridge. I like the pastel colors, as well.

Hi, Kevin!
A most beautiful construction, graceful and elegant. It looks light and airy. Streams of fountains from the left and the right create a nice symmetrical framing of the shot. The composition turned out very beautiful.

Happy New Year Kevin - where you are it's too late, but I still have 12 hours left in 2006, the symmetry is fantastic, likewise the delicate architecture, even the tourists make a positive contribution to a photo's appeal, a rare occurence.

Such a wonderful place, Kevin,
it's like looking inside a dream, very romantic.
The bridge looks like silver against that beautiful blue sky and I like the carvings.

Hi Kevin,
This picture is like a dream sequence, the beautiful glittering white marble structure, the fountains - it almost seems as if the pilgrims are entering a gateway to heaven.
Best Wishes & A Happy New Year

Hi Kevin,
I've been visiting Wat Rong Khun in 2005, which was not complete and posted few photos of it on TE.
Your title is fitting well to your photo which has good light, colors and framing.
All the best for 2007...

Hi Kevin, happy new year to you !
That's a nice artwork, with its shapes and the white color plus this narrow framing on this bridge detail it looks a bit elfic and wa spossibly a bit tricky to expose right unde the hard sun, the hordes already visiting it bring us back to Earth.
Have a nice day,

Interesting effect of the building and the water sprays in the back. Impression is more to a winter dream than a thai building. Good capture kevin in a well disposed setting.

This white colors is pretty unusual for a bridge. Looks like a fairy tale. And the crop makes the dream real, thanks to the fountains. Well composed.
