    Some might argue this is not a temple in the purest sense of the word but it is called Wat Rong Khun.

Some of the grounds.

What intrigued me is that the grounds where full of signs, written in English and Thai

Some made sense, some not.

About 500 steps to climb.

Doi Suthep from my university location. Olympus EM-1 Olympus 40-150mm (80-300mm 35mm FOV) f/2.8 Pro lens. A few things to consider: The Wat is 3.6km from where I was shooting. A lot of haze due to being Chiang Mai and the distance. Tried using haze removal techniques in Photoshop (1st photo jpg from the camera) but the haze was all encompassing so no real color point of reference. Didn't have LR at the office so tried to process the RAW with LR 5.3 after I got home. Below straight from camera, 2nd photo LR developed. Pleasantly surprised how much detail I could get out of the RAW file.

BTW, the photo was not cropped, size straight from the camera. smile.png

--Great you showed the power of RAW, Tywais. It's not easy to process, though. It takes a lot(years) of experience and practise.

[edit] @Jimmy: cool shot of wat Lamai, finally..tongue.pngthumbsup.gif

Where's yours DAL ?.....you been there ...done that ^tongue.png

She's almost lost in the mist here!
