A couple of years ago I spent a month traveling around Myanmar. Most of my in-country travel was by bus. I thought at one point that my knees were welded together from sitting so long! However, the discomfort was really nothing when compared to what I saw a long the way. This shot of the Buddha’s feet was taken in the small town of Bago, not far from Yangon.

Wow. That is a great shot. How large is the statue?
It’s big! What an answer, eh. I must have a look and see if I can find a shot of the entire statue. I don’t think I could get the entire thing into one shot, though.
Awesome pic !!
Nancie, I think this is my favorite photo yet! The color, framing, texture, use of light and shadow–it’s terrific! I really want to go to Myanmar someday…
Michael………Myanmar is fabulous…so much to see and do.
I agree with Michael. I think this is a terrific shot and probably the best in the last few months. It seems very restful and there’s something about giant body parts I find very appealing.
Now you have me wondering how large is that Buddha statue.
I’ve looked all over Okinawa and haven’t found a reclining one, yet.
Liked this shot so much I Tweetd/FBd/Yahoo Buzzd/Google Buzzd/MySpaced/Pingd and am headed over to the ThumbsUps place to see if they repaired the site. WU HU HU !
Nice find and capture. Hope the knees got unwelded without too much difficulty !
Thanks Mike!!
Simply beautiful…
Love how the sun is glistening off the toes!
Wow, Nancie — I love this shot!. You really know how to capture a unique perspective.

This photo is beautiful! The light is perfect and it adds a warm glow to the photo. Impressive!!!
Thanks for your kind words!
really beautiful shot….awesome and well done.
I have nothing in return but this is a very nice shot of Buddha’s feet. What is it actually made of?
I think it’s made of sandstone.
You’re inspiring me to start my own Travel Photo Thursday posts so that I can also join the fun too! 🙂
Please join us!
Enjoyed the read.
haha Jim……..couldn’t have a reclining Buddha with bad toe nails 🙂
That is some gigantic buddah! I saw some fairly large ones in a temple in Kampot – there were probably over 50 Buddhas in this one temple. Of course I took tons of photos. But none nearly so big as this.
You can’t beat SEA for Buddha statues!
Wow that’s cool!
Stunning photo! Great job!!
I am just thinking of the artist. Great skill and a great way of taking the photo.
Thanks, Natalie!
Hi Michael,
I loved Myanmar. It’s easy to get there, and so much to see.
