Reclining Buddha

It's impossible to limit photos of this magnificent statue because of it's massive size. And Stan & I were both snapping -- but believe me, I edited them down a LOT!

First peek of Buddha through the ornate pillars.

The Reclining Buddha measures 138 feet long and is covered completely in gold leaf.
