Trees

[Kan Win 1,957]

Hi Folks,

Hope I am not barking up the wrong tree nor "Barking Mad' in posting this new fred thread.

Trees, branches and roots as well.

So lets see yours like I saw mine:-

Buddha head overgrown by a fig in Wat Mahatat in Ayutthaya historic park, Thailand.

Though the body is gone, the sandstone head is entrapped in the roots and lies beneath a Bodhi tree in the vicinity of Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya. This piece of ancient antique is extremely precious albeit it is trapping under a tree. Look and appreciate but no touching please so that this piece of ancient-natural arts is preserved for everybody's enjoyment.

The construction of Wat Mahathat begun during the reign of King Borommarachathirat I in 1374 A.D. but completed during the reign of King Ramesuan (1388-1395 A.D.) The architecture of Wat Mahatat had several prangs of Khmer style. While the octagonal chedis showed the influence of Ceylonese.

Go on and hug a tree or two, it will make you feel much better in your life, and please use the bum spray when in Thailand, to save on paper

Really big trees are harder to find.
