291206 Wat Choum Khong Soulinthaham

As seen from the grounds of neighbouring Wat Xieng Mouane:

The wat where everything seemed crooked & out of alignment - left & right doors of the viharn:

PC290290 PC290289

Cracks in the plaster (above left) make the cat wonder if the viharn structure is sinking to one side?

Another attempt to keep a fish out of the cat's reach - at the top of the banner pole:

PC290286

The apex of the stupa beside the pole (above) looks like it has taken a (lightning?) hit, with some concrete missing & only one layer of the multi-tiered umbrella finial left.
