Round the side of the top of the big Buddha hill there’s a “mezzanine” area, which most people don’t even have a look at … Well I’m not most people and found another Buddha hidden out of sight …
I don’t know if he’s been built to be painted and he’ll go on display later, or whether he’s a special Buddha for another reason ….

Taken Upper Big Buddha Hill, Thailand, Nov-2013

I actually prefer this one to all the glitzy golden ones, looks very powerful and not at all kitschy.
Certainly more humble, personally I like both, I guess others some will like the gold glitzy one and others will like this one he’s more “Honest” perhaps ? DC
He looks very awaiting, maybe he meditate and wait for his time.

Don’t know why he’s hiding round the back looks peaceful and happy enough though like you say 🙂 DC
Different, and so tall. Wonder what he’ll look like when finished? I’m sure he can’t be finished yet. They have to paint him and give him a life. Maybe he’s the lost Thursday.
Could be, but I suspect I just missed getting one of the plaques in the photos … It was interesting to take a walk around this area, off the beaten track… i enjoyed:)
Very neat posts.
