Roof lines of Lao temples are so beautiful. The end pieces are stylized Naga heads, which curlicues on the roof line are flames, which symbolize burning away illusion. The roofs are always dramatic against the background of the sunset.
I'm a little late this week. Lao New Year officially runs from 13 - 15 April, but on Friday, I had to make the rounds of some of the offices that our project works with, so I haven't had much time for blogging.Just realized I had another nice shot from this week - the rickety Ferris wheel by the Mekong waterfront, where the carnival has been set up for the Lao New Year. Since it has been so hazy for the past month, I was happy that a thunderstorm cleaned out dust earlier in the day.
This is my contribution to Skywatch Friday, which is hosted on Welcome to Wiggers World

Your first picture made a fresh change from the silhouettes often seen on SWF, but I really fell for photo the wheel. Looks a bit dangerous, but what a subject. There must be hundreds of great pictures just "waiting" to be found there.
Very nice skywatch, great sky and beautiful silhouette. Runee alredy said something different.
Your first photo is awesome and I agree with Rune a really fresh change:)
Love your post!
