Last week I visted an exposition of Buddhist art in Brussels.The buddahs exposed were mostly from Korea, India and Japan. They look completely different to those I am more used to : the fat smiling chinese buddah.
Of course it was strictly forbidden to take any photos. But as usual I am a paparazzi trainee and who would think that an old lady doesn't respect rules ? I am very proud of the results because it is not easy to smile at a buddah and at the same time hope that I shot in the right direction with my camera hidden in my sleeve.
At the entrance we were greated by this enormous buddah
These are rather small once
Risking my life I took this picture of a dragon, because there are some dragon friends amongst my blogfriends ! (Melli for example !)
These figures weren't buddahs I think it represented souls
This statue is very old I have always loved statues of these dog guardians
At the end of the exposition a vietnamese artist had exposed his work ! Rice bowls !
Interesting pictures and taken with the camera in your sleeve yet. Good job

Wow, looks like a really neat visit with some great shots. The bowls look cool!
ReplyDeleteHahaha yes, I am well aquaited with the techinques of the forbidden photographer!! I have covered for Renny many times LOL! Lovely pictures, thank you for risking your life and liberty for us (or at least risking being thrown out hahaha)
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Buddhas - but like you I prefer the cute little round guys! These are beautiful though -- and we have some like these down in one of the museums in DC. WE were not allowed to take pictures either ... but of course, I did! ;) We do NOT have that display of RICE BOWLS though -- and I have to tell you - I LOVE THAT! I'm so glad you took that picture! You are a GREAT paparazzi!
