Grand Palace Thailand



At the heart of Bangkok you can find the Grand Palace.  The buildings within the walls seem to be something straight out of a painting and seem dream-like.  The roofs, as seen above, have elongated points and are themselves sectioned like armour on the back of some war machine.  From afar they look spectacular but only when you get up close can you truly understand the skill and time taken to construct these symbols.  Each colour you see in this photo is not a solid piece, they are made from tiny tiles, a form of mosaic, and the inside mirrors the beauty of the outside.
