Two views of hazy skies this week:
This is the Bodhi tree near my house at dawn. It shed all its leaves about two weeks ago and the new buds are starting to come out. The sky was very pink at dawn; a few minutes later, it displayed various shades of gray.
I took a long walk during lunch time earlier this week and caught a picture of the roof of the temple behind my office, framed by frangipani flowers.
This picture is my contribution to Skywatch Friday, hosted on Welcome to Wiggers World

Nice looking flowers on the tree.
Bodhi trees is a species of fig tree, under which the Buddha to meditate until he reached enlightenment. Many of the trees in SE Asia came from cuttings from trees in India though most grew wild. Temples would be built around large trees, or transplant trees from other sites. When they are outside temple areas, people still make offerings to them - they often have small shrines hidden in the roots and may be wrapped with cloth.
The other tree is a variety of Plumeria or Frangipani, know here as Don Champha. The Champha flower is the national flower of Laos.
Nice to see someone else living in Asia in this Sky Watch group...I am in Jakarta...please stop by my blog for a visit..I will stop by yours more often as well....
Cheers,
