Excerpt from Wikipedia: Tsz Shan Monastery (慈山寺) is a large Buddhist temple located in Tung Tsz, Tai Po District, Hong Kong. As a Chinese Buddhist monastery established for the inheritance of the teaching of the Buddha, Tsz Shan Monastery is a sanctuary for the purpose of spiritual purification, and endeavours to open the door to compassion and wisdom for the public through various activities. Much of the monastery building funds were donated by local business magnate Li Ka-shing.
Within the Tsz Shan Monastery, an outdoor bronze Guanyin statue, 76 meters in height, is the second highest in the world. Tsz Shan Monastery completed its construction and opened to public visitors in April 2015, led by the Venerable Kok Kwong HHCKLA.
Excerpt from the Guide Map of Tszshan Monastery: The Grand Buddha Hall has its front facade divided by columns into seven bays with an eighteen-metre high roof ridge. Inside the Hall three Buddha statues are placed, namely Sakyamuni Buddha 釋迦牟尼佛, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha 東方藥師佛 (the Medicine Buddha), and Amitabha Buddha 西方阿彌陀佛. On either side of Sakyamuni Buddha stands his attendant disciples, Cenerable Mahakasyapa 迦葉尊者 and Venerable Ananda 阿難尊者. The statues are carved from camphorwood 樟木 either painted with gold powder or affixed with gold leaves. The statues inside the Hall were carved following the sculptural traditions of the Tang 唐 and Liao 遼 Dynasties. On the two sides of the Hall, there are eighteen bronze statues of arhats 十八羅漢. At the back of the Hall, visitors can find an illustration of the Maitreya Descending Sutra 彌勒經變, reproduced with modern technology from the north wall of cave 25 of the Yulin Grottoes 榆林窟, east of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes 敦煌壁畫, as well as illustrations of the bodhisattvas Manjusri 文殊經變 and Samantabhadra 普賢經變 from cave 3 of the Yulin Grottoes.

Each shot fired by the USS Alabama’s 16-inch guns needed six bags of powder, each of which weighed almost 100 pounds. This is one of the powder elevators.
Another powder day in the Cascade Mountains - the season started off slowly but Feb has been the snowiest month in quite some time with temps much lower than normal
The Powder House (Y Cwt Pwdr) dates to the mid-18th Century and takes its name from its original use as a store for the gun powder unloaded from ships for use in the local slate mines.. In approximately 1897, the then redundant gunpowder store was converted into a dwelling house.
The Macro Mondays theme for this week is "Powder" Use this powder to lube wheels of pine wood derby car.
I made two shelves of some leftover balm(?) wood I had. The room is looking way more cosy already. I wish I had a narrow bench or something to add to it..
Powder is wearing a sweater with a new fabric design I got last week.

A cool spring evening after a warm day has everyone thinking about cars. Joe (Yo-Yo) Helmer fuels up his new 1969 Shelby GT350. The gas station is known locally as the Powder Puff. It catered mainly to female travelers and included a powder room. It was supplied by Dixie Oil (Dixie Gas, The Power to Pass). The station has been gone for too many decades and in its prime included a service building, six small rental cabins and a miniature golf course. The mini Puff was built from the original blueprints supplied from an architectural firm in Green Bay, Wi and the help of Robert Leberak who's father was a coowner for many years.
Built in 1886 for the storage of gunpowder used in blasting for the construction of the Long Pier and the New Harbour at Seahouses.
