January 14, 2004Ayuthaya Photos!!
So, I've finally figured out how to get these pics onto a PC. Ayuthaya 1 This was something I walked right by the last time I was there, so I had to get a picture this time. We also met a few really friendly monks who wanted out picture but only if I was able to get one of them as well. Monks This buddha had seen better days and he looks like a head shrinker got ahold of him. Shrunken Head Doesn't he look like Terrace and Phillip from South Park?? This is a garuda that was on the top of one of the chedis. He's pretty fierce looking. Go optical zoom!!! Ayuthaya 2 Here is Vanessa meditating among fellow buddhas... View image And here's another one of her. Vanessa 2 Here is a buddha. And finally, here is a shot of some of the chedis. Comments
Those yellow sashes are still there! I wonder how often they replace them.. I mean, the rain must destroy them after a while. I wonder if it is the monk's duty to make sure the statues always have nice sashes.. Posted by: Stephanie on January 14, 2004 04:41 PMYes, they do replace them and people sponsor buddhas. I think monks change them, but other people pay for them. Sort of like adopt a highway??
