Wat Haysoke In Vientiane

Great sculptures, great graphics. Wat complexes in Vientiane seem to follow the same basic design. It's the details that make each place unique. Bring your best art direction.

The main temple, looking good in white.

Fierce. A sitting Buddha sculpture with a posse of Naga-like dragon heads as protection. Pray, don't pounce. Hello docile elephant.

Inside, sharpen your eyeballs and try to use your red filter.

A section of several panels with intricate depictions of Buddha's teachings. Kind of a graphic novel for the devout. Back to reality, monk portrait.

Shell shocked. Intricate dragon railings, all gold and a sea of seashells.

Night At The Amusement Park, Part two

Time to make another wander through the night amusement park, so much good stuff for the senses.

Just follow the arrows down for all the action.

Good mess. Rides scattered about, food destroyed and left. All satisfying.

Fixing stuff and bears crushing a foe. Busy.

Various transportation options. Bumping in the night or slow on the rails.

Back on the flood plain, an eerie, beautiful sight.
