After ringing bells, we entered Wat Phrathat proper and were wowed by the Chedi.  Lots of gold leaf!

On the night of the full moon in May, the birth, life and death of Buddha are celebrated all over Thailand (it's a national holiday).  Here I'm at Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai, watching people (including Nicole) circumambulate around the main Chedi (clockwise!) carrying incense and candles and lotus blossums.  I used a long exposure and captured blurry people.
