As I passed this building just outside the Chiang Mai moat, the gathering storm clouds enhanced the scene.
Dull and darkening
As I had walked into this compound 5 minutes earlier, the basic shapes and simple form of this building made it seem rather dull. (See below photo.) But that was before the clouds darkened the sky.
Softer and warmer
Later, as I walked out of the compound, I again passed this building. The gathering storm clouds had changed the light. As a result, the soft pastel hue of the façade had turned softer, brighter and warmer.
In fact, the entire scene was enhanced by the soft light that was filtered through the storm clouds.
First photo, taken before the storm clouds had floated in.
(As you can see, the colors in the above photo are much richer.)
