Modernity & Tradition

This morning, I read an interesting article on the ongoing belief in the supernatural in Thailand and in the Far East.
This afternoon, as I was walking back home from fitness, my eye caught this Thai Spirit House. I had seen it before on many occasions. But what retained my attention today, is that the building in the background is in its final stage of construction. The light was appropriate. So I stopped, walked nearby, chose the right angle for the blip, and later improved the shot with my McBook Pro.
