just one more

one of my favourite photos from one of my favourite days in our trip to vietnam. dragon on the roof of one of the majestic royal tombs beside the perfume river outside of hue. i promise no more dragons. for now.

stone dragon

a grand dragon bannister on a set of stairs leading up to another vietiane wat, which was chockers full of buddhas. there is a plethora of buddhas and wats in laos. by the end of an extended trip it has you thinking that there is possibly an over-saturation, similar to that of churches and museums in europe. i wonder if there is an equivalent in australia - that has tourists going "oh here we go, another - ".

wooden dragon

i'm 'dragon' out the dragon theme a bit. boom boom. this wooden carving was in the wat which was featured in the previous post. so wat? i just like dragons, and i'm providing some context. that's wat.

unhidden dragons

ornamental wat roofing in vientiane. there were dragons on the roof and (not shown in photo) eaves support struts which were carved to look like elephant head and trunk. mands couldn't see the elephant head and trunk but i am still convinced of it. maybe it's like how some people can't see those stupid magic eye pictures. personally, i could only see them inverted while giving myself a massive headache going cross-eyed. anyway this is not the point. the dragons are obvious and indisputable are they not.
