I shot these some time ago, but have not done anything with them until now.
Sometimes, when you have shot something special, do you feel reluctant to use the photographs in case you don't show them off to the best of your ability? Maybe not you but I do.
These are some shots of the golden statues atop the Antonio Blanco Museum, in Ubud, Bali.
This is the central statue placed in the highest position, on the rooftop!
The epitome of grace and beauty...
I imagine this tribute of golden statues, is in honour of the late artist's wife, also a Balinese dancer

Love them all my friend. Our state capitol dome is plated in Gold Leaf, (so is city hall in Savannah) gold mined right here in Dahlonega Ga.
This one is Savannah City Hall
I apologize, I did not take either of these.
Somewhere I have one I took of the State Capitol Dome, with my
Signature and date on it, but I couldn't find it.
Well done as always my friend.

Amazing... I often wondered why people would gold-plate or paste gold leaf all over something especially as huge as a building's dome, but I guess the result is appreciated when the sun shines upon it, and it shines and glows in all its splendour... I'm not sure if the statues would have attracted the same attention if they were just plaster or plain metal...

I have a weakness for a very special goddess from the Himalayas, who I'm sure you know: Tara, the Kuan-Ying of the Chinese, the goddess of mercy. Beautiful images.

Ahaaaa... Kwan Yin or as we call her Kwan Yin Ma ~ Ma for Mother... or Goddess of Mercy as you have mentioned... :) She is always pictured sitting or standing on a floating lotus. We have a huge statue here in Penang island at the Kek Lok Si temple, reputed to be the tallest in the world! :)
Edit: I just found this and enjoyed it! You might too...?!! :)

Some I'll tell you how I met Tara and why I'm so interested, so, friend @ ackhoo, thank you very much for this detail. I'll confess a secret: I have an image of Tara at the head of my bed. Hug
