The Golden Temple in Bangkok
This mornng we got up early and took the sky train to the river...then took a boat to Bangkoks' famous GOLDEN TEMPLE. The river ride was a great w...
   

Arriving at the boat dock
It was already hot out. The dog was passed out!
This was one way to get around the river
Huge billboard on the river front by highrise
Right next to the highrise were the locals' homes
This was a rea mix of the haves and have nots
Look at this makeshift garden on the deck!
I think this was the Sofitel??
This is like the boat we were on
Arriving at the Golden Temple
Unbelievable the details in this place
I have never seen so many animal statues
The buildings wer very ornate and mirror covered
Detail of the mirror and gilding
Gorgeous pillars on the temple
Ancient handpainted tiles
MASSIVE doorway entrance
A cute little horse statue
This smiling donkey was my favorite
At last...something taller than Steve!
I had to wear sleves because it is a temple
These guys are sleeveless. It was HOT
I loved the color in this fella.
One of those quick shots. Pardon the LEAN
I have a thing for Temple lions. This is the female
The male always has a ball under one paw
If it held water,,it also held a lotus plant!
Very artsy in this pot all by itself
I need to make an enlargement of this one
Impressive roofline
See what I mean about "if it holds water"....
And if lotus plants arent enuf. How about lions!
This pool was full of little temple lions!!!!!
I was in Kodak moment heaven!
This shrine was all mama lions with their puppies
Look in the background
She was stunning. See her baby in front of her
Another mom and kid
I have more but you get the drift. Lots of lions!
Huge bronze elephant
The guard almost smiled when the girl stepped up
Another leaning photo but a pretty scene
