For several days the small temple near the Phousi steps (still
in Luang Prabang) was always locked ~ I'd remembered the
paintings ~ then one day it opened. The light was very low,
didn't want to use flash, they are old. Beautifully restored, by
the Chiang Mai university, according to a most enthusiastic
ex-professor who also visited that day.
The fine arts department restored what was still visible,
& halted the decay in other parts without filling/guessing.
The artists show both delicacy & humour. I love them.
Far away in New York there's a sensational interpretation
of Bosch's great Garden of Earthly Delights.
