La Chapelle Rouge

Interior shot of the Haw Tai Pha Sai-nyaat temple at Wat Xieng Thong (see Painting) in Luang Prabang, Laos. The temple is named for the rare reclining Buddha (shown above) that dates back to 1569; the French call it the Red Chapel because of the brightly painted and intricately gilded walls. I find the whole scene strangely reminiscent of the cover of Sgt. Pepper's.
