These pictures were taken at Chaiwattanaram Temple, Ayutthaya, Thailand by a Soviet Lens MIR-1B.
Ayuttaya is an old capital of Thailand (Siam). In that era she was called "Ayothaya" that means "nobody can beat" but Burmese (Myanmer) called her "Yodia" or "Yothaya" that mens "can beat" and they really can beat in 1767 and had occupied Ayothaya for a short period.
This temple was build in 1594 by King Prasart Thong by reproducing from "Ankor Wat" of Cambodia which was occupied by Siam in that time.
This is not the real Thai or Siam's art but it's mixed with Khom's art (Khom was an old and high-civilization tribe before Cambodian in the present).
Parts of the temples and Lord Buddha's statues were destroyed and stolen.
An imperfected Lord Buddha's statue.
Behind the statues is a river, the most important river of Thailand. Her name is "Chao Pra Ya" river.
Last picture, thank you for your visiting.

Fascinating place. The contrast seems to be strong. Have you pushed it in post-production?

Yes, I adjusted the brightness of some pics. and USM before resizing by ACDSee 9.0
Oh, just remember, I adjusted the contrast to +1 in my E500 camera.
