Hazy Sunset at Wat Rong Suea Ten

Wat Rong Suea Ten, or the Blue Temple, is a modern temple built on the site of a ruined one by local artist Phuttha Kabkaew. This is one of the smaller surrounding shrines with a buddha emerging from a flower in a fountain. Manmade wildfires for clearing fields choked the sky, leading to the hazy sun, also reflected on the partially wet street.
