Reclining Buddha
This is one of those things that words cannot begin to describe. This particular Buddha statue is located at Wat Pho in Bangkok, Thailand. This imposing Buddha is 50 feet high and 150 feet long and made from brick and plaster and gilded in gold. The reclining pose represents the Buddha’s passage into nirvana. His feet are of mother of pearl inlays with 108 vignettes representing the 108 auspicious signs for recognizing buddha.
Reclining Buddha belongs to the following groups:
Amazing Asia, Buddha, Exotic Thailand , Religious Art & Photography, Southeast Asia, Spiritual Art and Statues and Such Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Wonderful picture. It’s hard to get him like this. Those piles are disturbing. And you are right, words cannot describ the Wat or Bangkok itself.
Caroline Fournier replied
Thank you Manuel …you’re right the columns are a shame because you cannot appreciate him in all his reclining glory!

Gorgeous capture, the golden tones are wonderful and I love your framing and composition!
Caroline Fournier replied
Thank you Sarah … it’s actually hard to get a full shot because there are columns every so many feet. He is 150 feet long after all! I’m glad that you like it.

Caroline Fournier replied
