Candles on Mt. Emei
in: Travel
At the top of Mt. Emei is the Temple of the Golden Buddha. Outside the temple are many prayer candles. The rain was pretty heavy at the top; evidence of that can be seen in the background of this shot.

Temple at Mt Emei
in: Travel
Mt. Emei near Leshan can offer a spectacular view when it’s not raining and or clouded over. We arrived to clouds that turned to rain as we got to the top of the mountain. Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix G Vario 45-200/f4.0-5.6, ISO 320, f/4.4, 1/100 sec

The Giant Buddha’s Smile

The expression of size in meters can be somewhat abstract and hard to visualize. This shot has a person in it to provide some sense of scale. Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix G Vario 45-200/f4.0-5.6, ISO 100, f/4.9, 1/400 sec

Giant Buddha
in: Travel
From Chengdu we drove to Leshan where we boarded a ferry that took us to the Giant Buddha. The Statue is some 71 meters and is situated facing the river. We didn’t leave the ferry; it just drove past a couple of times. I took pictures. I was impressed by the finger nails.
