11.08.2006 a path of mercy

On my 5 day weekend in October Han and I rented a scooter. Our feet pretty much only hit the ground to sleep and eat BBQ. One of our scooter adventures was in the mountains of Muzha. Randomly picking roads to go down.


We found a road that went to Pingling and decided to follow it for awhile. Not very far in we came to a section that was lined with golden statues of Guanyin about 6 feet tall. Guanyin is the buddhist goddess of mercy and is one of the big gods in Guandu Temple. I was captivated by this road and even though the lighting wasn't the best and I almost got run over about 10 times I snapped some pics.


Anyway even though the conditions weren't the best I really like these photos, 10 included in this gallery, and I'm going to go back at some point to a second run at the pictures. For now enjoy. Click the image below to go into the gallery:





I have a bunch of new photography to put up from random summer adventures but I'm working on putting up a new photography gallery program for the photography section. I think it'll be much better as far as being user friendly and it also includes a RSS feed and searchability! It'll probably take longer than I'm planning on getting up so I'll try to get the new photography up over the next couple of weeks in the current photography section.
