Buddha days crop up on a regular basis and are marked around our way by some prayers and a circumnavigation of the local Buddha.

2010-05-29| Pete saysYou’ve got more camera gear than Jessop’s, and you only have one tripod?
Nice shots though - even handheld. Is that the Buddha on the top of the hill?
2010-05-29| Spike saysHave a Gorrilapod too but forgot to take it; and two monopods. Yes, it’s the Buddha at the top of the hill.
2010-05-29| Pete saysIt was white the last time I was up there. That was about late 80’s. When did they paint it gold?
2010-05-31| Spike saysSometime between the late 80’s and five years ago. Don’t worry, I expect they will paint it white again soon.
2010-05-31| Pete saysii? Anyway, thanks for narrowing the time frame down.
