After Luang Prabang, I flew to Vientiane. Many hours at
Wat Sisaket. The predominant colour is a pale saffron-ochre,
with many levels of age showing, wonderfully satisfying
proportions, numerous buddhas ~ really gorgeous.
I've altered the colour enough for you to see it, though the
effect on the ground is more faded & dusty & intensely textural.
But in a way that makes me stop until I can see the palimpsest
of centuries. Almost one can see events & people from other times.
