WEEKLY WINNERS - Buddah exposition


More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

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.

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
