Macro Monday and MakroMontag

These enviably long eyelashes belong to the 65 m long and 16m high Chauk Htat Gyi Buddha statue in Yangon / Myanmar. The little brown dot is actually a little bird which had a look around before taking off again.



Many people and pilgrims from neighbouring countries come here to pay their respect.

  1. I'm a little surprised to see a female Buddha ... I think that is a first for me. Great Macro Shot, Karen. You certainly are a traveler and I love what you are doing for the children in India. I wish we could meet while I am in Switzerland. I know I am tied to a very tight itinerary, but if you have any interest in trying, perhaps you could e-mail me your cell number and I could contact you while we are is Zurich. No obligation, just a thought :)

  6. Beeindruckend, die Statue sieht ziemlich neu aus und dürfte um einiges größer sein als die anderen großen Figuren (wie die in Sri Lanka); schöne Fotos.
