Wat Rong Khun
Chiang Rai, Thailand. 2022
The White Temple is brighter in person than in any photograph I have seen of it, mine included. The artist Chalermchai Kositpipat began rebuilding it in the late 1990s, and it is still being added to: white plaster and small mirrors, so the whole building throws the sun back at you.
I used the pond in front of it. The reflection is almost as sharp as the temple, and it doubles every spike on the roof.
