RE: Photo Hunt Contest #15 - Theme - Statues - Big Buddha Chiang Rai !!
I absolutely love this statue!! Not for how big and absolutely stunning she is, but, for what she stands for.
I just cannot wrap my head around living in a place like Thailand and having all of THIS available for my personal viewing and pleasure. It is hands-down #1 in so many things.
Number one is abundance. Of people. Of food. Of beauty. I could go on and on. This is an amazing post and I hope you win the contest with your offerings.
I look at her from the distance and have to wonder what they were thinking as they were building her? Bigger is better? Or was it to pay tribute to her, making her bigger than life? I am not sure, but, the sight of her creates such a stir in me, I cannot imagine seeing her in real life.
Thailand is like a living canvas of art. Indeed.
Taking her home with me. Let her go!!! ;)
