    Nice pics! :)

    Though I personally don't like the Dambulla Lord Buddha statue!

    Its UGLY! Doesn't carry that gracefulness of a Buddha statue, more like a rushed work.. you even can see the paint is already peeling off...

    I think we must have some sort of standard when creating Buddha statues at least in places like these... :rolleyes:
