Wat Sirindhorn Wararam in Ubon Ratchatani, Thailand.

in r2cornell •  2 years ago 

One main reason I love photography is that I get the opportunity to travel and experience photographing beautiful things. This was just another beautiful experience travelling to Ubon Ratchatani is about 600km a 9-hour drive from Bangkok city I was visiting some foreign friends that live there with their Thai wives and this gave me the opportunity to visit some remarkable temples in this province.

The main feature attraction of the Wat Sirindhorn Wararam Temple is the "Tree of Life" which has been done with mosaic each piece was installed by the brilliant artist Kunakorn Parinya Punno he was inspired by the movie Avatar hence came the fluorescent agents around the tree and the rock patterns along the temple grounds represent the roots of this tree of life which are painted in a fluorescent paint which glow after the sun sets.

Wat Sirindhorn Wararam also known as glowing temple is on a hilltop overlooking the Mekong River from here you will see the most beautiful sunsets reflecting of the mosaic but let me tell you photos don't do it justice seeing this temple with your own eyes is much more beautiful than a photograph.

Yes photography and travel go hand in hand. There is something about seeing something for the first time which makes it that much more fun to take a photo of.

Very beautiful clear photos.

Thank you seriously @wil.metcalfe once in your lifetime you must visit this amazing country there is so much to see and do.

The pictures are mind-blowingly stunning, therefore we should definitely travel to Thailand together. I think we should do this.

I found the password

Excellent! Welcome (officially!) to Blurt! 🙌

I never doubted your ability to figure this one out for one second Pappy! (Now all you need is a recognizable profile picture and we are off to the races!)

I'll also add here... Your not wrong! We both must visit Thailand! I'm going to continue to follow @hangin's content so that I know more of the ins and outs of traveling in this part of the world.

Another good person to follow would be @world-travel-pro. He's been traveling Asia for quite some time and has even made it his home.

Again Pappy! I'm thrilled to have you here on Blurt! I'm looking forward to coordinating more great things together my friend! ☄️
