What a fantastic place the Grand Palace is. Great capture of the glittering jewelled walls.

The longer I look at the photo, the more peaceful my mind is going to be. That's the magic of god around us. Great capture!

I wonder how many people look at this sculpture and don't realize that the back of the throne symbolizes a snake?

You are so right, Barbara. Of course it's easy to be distracted by all the glitter and gold.

Not trying to be ugly, but just so you know, that is not a goddess. That is the Buddha. He was a man.

Thanks, Billie. Education is a good thing. I'll change that right now.
