Taiwan - Kaohsiung Buddha Museum, Wide Angle of Statue

Next stop was the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum where this gigantic statue sits.  Listed as one of the top 10 landmarks in Taiwan, this - the largest sitting bronze Buddha statue in the world - tops out at 108 meters from the ground; the pedestal is 10 meters high with the statue itself up another 40 meters.  Something worth seeing even if you're not a Buddhist.

We hung around here for most of an afternoon.  I was frankly getting bored with postcard-ish pictures, and the feeling among my friends that that's what I'm after as a photographer - but here we were and there was opportunity for lots of those, so here they are for you as well.  I did enjoy the practice gained in Photoshop to make them presentable.
