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