A statue of Lord Buddha.


Kandy, 17-10-1994. Lots of rain today but i am getting used to it here in Asia. High above the little town of Kandy a white colored 10- or 15 m. high statue of Lord Buddha in lotus position, hands folded in his lap looks down on the hustle and bustle of Kandy beneath him probably listening to the sounds of the birds that inhabit the trees surrounding him. So far i have made two serious efforts to hike up there but today the rain forced me to take shelter in an abandoned truck. Maybe i was never supposed to get up to that particular statue....
