The soaring, intricately decorated prang of Wat Arun — Bangkok's famed Temple of Dawn — rises against a hazy sky in this 1965 color slide, its surface color-shifted with age. Photographed by a U.S. airman of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing while on rest-and-recuperation leave from Vietnam, the image captures a moment of tourism and cultural encounter that many American servicemen experienced during brief escapes from the war.
