The story
Wat Arun is called the temple of dawn and everybody photographs it at sunset, because that is when the light hits the porcelain.
The spire is covered in broken Chinese ceramic — ballast from trading ships, pressed into the plaster by hand. You see it properly from the water, which is also how you see the rest of old Bangkok: the canals behind the river, houses on stilts, and monitor lizards that are much larger than anyone warns you.
