Description


During our Thailand travel we saw many statues of Buddha, in various poses. These attitudes have each a specific meaning. The Wat Pho temple contains a lying Buddha, which is completely gold plated. It has a length of ca. 148ft (45m) and its height is 49ft (15m), which is a giant size in the very small Wat Pho temple. The lying pose is that which precedes the nirvana, a step in which somebody becomes free of the reincarnations’ cycle. To photograph the entire Buddha statue in a single shot is very difficult because of the very narrow size of the temple and of the low available light. Please note how the smile is beautiful and the hair delicate. I dedicate this picture to Caude19. Click on the image to enjoy its details. Comments welcome.

Au cours de notre voyage en Thaïlande, nous avons vu de très nombreuses statues du Bouddha, dans différentes attitudes, qui ont chacune une signification spécifique. Le temple de Wat Pho renferme un Bouddha recouvert d’or, long de 45m et haut de 15, très à l’étroit dans son petit temple. La position couchée de ce Bouddha est celle qui précède l’atteinte du nirvana, point de libération du cycle des réincarnations. Photographier cette statue dans sa totalité est extrèmement difficile car il y a fort peu de recul et l’éclairement est faible. Ici nous voyons le visage du Bouddha dont vous noterez la beauté du sourire et la délicatesse de la chevelure. Je dédie cette image à Claude19. Cliquez sur l’image afin d’afficher le pop-up et de mieux en voir les détails. Commentaires bienvenus.

Très impressionnant. Cadrage très intéressant (en diagonale). Dynamique malgré l'apparente tranquillité du Bouddha.

Je pense que je l'ai vue en 1987 (!). Un pays très attachant.

Cette photo me rappelle mon voyage en Birmanie. Il y a egalement beaucoup de bouddha la-bas. Le plus impressionnant est celui d'un temple de Mandalay. Il est tellement recouvert de feuilles d'or qu'il en est tout boursoufle! C'est vrai qu'il est tres difficile de les prendre en photo, car bien souvent il n'y a pas beaucoup d'espace autours.
