NO POINTS DAY, a photo from Bangkok, Central

Photographer's Note

NO POINTS PLS
If we are to teach real peace in this world, we shall have to begin with the children.

A shot taken at the courtyard of Wat Benchamabophit famously known as "The Marble Temple" where the monk introduces the children to the teachings of Buddha..
To do no evil, to cultivate good and to purify one's mind.

This is part of the 2008 NO POINTS DAY - Peace in the World started by Achim

Hello Albert,

the symbol of unconcern, innocence, and the purity, that childhood, why are we obliged to grow?

Beautiful contribution for peace, and beautiful symbol.

Love and peace, Dino.

A place like that can only be peaceful. The perspective is excellent and the deep view is very descriptive of that part of the temple.

Albert,
points are so worthless as violence is. I didn't get rigth the idea of what one thing has to do with the other, but that is OK.
At TW I'm interestred to learn about the world and find new places that I would like to visit and get to know more about as well as learning to improve my photography skills. It is a perfect combination. Points are just a matter of making this whole site to work - at least for some people. I do not care whatsoever about point. I care about receiving good critiquesand also writing constructive critiques.
This shot says it all and I wish more people could hear the monk with his amplifier. Wonderful and very powerful image that goes extremely well along with the theme - No points and Peace.

Hi Albert,
Lovely vertical presentation with excellent depth, clarity and excellent sharp details to this lovely temple scene.
Love the shinny marble pillar with the lovely gold trim.

Hello Albert,
a monk teaching the children, for sure peaceful and good contribution but I am a bit astonished about the megaphone. Good depth and light.
