Buddha, peering through the trees, such serene contemplation.

I think this is the best way to take Buddha pictures, make it so that the viewer is directly in his line of vision. You did great with this one, it really conveys the essence of the 'reclining Buddha'. One day I will try to get my head around that wonderful religion. Someone was trying to explain to me at a temple in Phetchaburi that they had a Buddha for each day of the week, but that they were building a Buddha that could be used for every day except weekends. I got very confused.

LOL! I don't blame you for the confusion! Not only are there usually 7, I have seen hundreds of different versions, too! I do not know too much about Buddhism, other than followers of Buddha are very calm, peaceful, and happy. Does encourage one to find out more about it. Thanks for the generous comment!

How big is this? You really caught the feel of it looking right down at you.

Wonderful perspective and image. He looks gigantic and as if he is staring directly at you. Love it!
