Ten thousand Buddhas.
Well I didn`t count them all, but there were certainly a lot .....a huge lot !!! This is part of the Buddhist temple called Kek Lok Si (Temple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas) in Penang....the largest Chinese Buddhist temple in Malaysia ( probably in all Southeast Asia ). The beautiful seven storey Pagoda is unique ,as it incorporates three architectural styles ......the octagonal base is Chinese , with the mid section Thai & the top, a Burmese crown, symbolising unity.
Alas there is some scaffolding ,spoiling the image ..... along with cranes, the bane of my photo-life.
