The main building was partially covered in scaffolding, but that was OK because the attraction was the two old buildings which contained ancient murals, and very good they were too; showing a more robust Thai life than modern Buddhism would like to tolerate.

And so we headed home, or tried to, because shortly after leaving this temple my phone battery died and we became rather lost for a while. Naturally, I blame the driver.

Photos on this trip taken with the Olympus E-M1 with either the 12-40mm F2.8 or 75mm F1.8. Along for the ride was the Panasonic GM1 (I am still “evaluating” it) and there are a few shots taken with that camera. Taking photos of the murals had the shutter speed down to 1/10th second; no problem for the E-M1. How I love it.
