Το πάρκο με τα υπαρκτά φαντάσματα!
Γειάσου Δάνο.
Μπορεί να μην βοηθάει ο περίγυρος π.χ. το έδαφος για να αναδειχθούν τα αγάλματα και όλα τα αντικείμενα εκεί αλλά η καταγραφή τους είναι πολύ καλή και μπορούν να ξεχωρίσουν.
Τα βοηθάει το καλό φως και το καλό κοντραστ που δούλεψες πολύ.
Καλό βράδυ.
Βαγγέλης

Hey Danos,

A nice distinct focus here, and overall presentation, I`m glad you had fun in SE Asia, waiting for more.

See you around.

Hi Danos,

It looks an amazing and fabled place. I had never heard about it or of his creator, so I thank you not only the excellent photo, but also for increasing my knowledge.
You did a great job with the compo and the light management, by choosing a vantage POV and putting it slightly dark, which seems to enhance a certain mysterious mood that goes well with the place. The presence of the people is nice and very important to give scale, as without them I could think that the statues were much smaller.

TFS, Regards, José.

PS: I am sorry that I won't be able to visit Greece this Summer after all. My wife doesn't know when she will need to be in Portugal for taking care of professional bureaucratic obligations, so we find more advisable to stay closer. Maybe next year...

Kalimera Danos,
you offer us an astonishing view from a good high POV, I like the quality of the textures and the details. With my small knowledge of Buddhism this seems to be a bit strange.

Hej Danos,

You have created a mysterious feeling in this photo. The little darker areas and the brighter statues, makes a fine compliments to each other.

Γεια σου Δάνε και καλώς επέστρεψες στα πάτρια εδάφη!!

Κατάρχήν και βλέποντας τις φωτογραφίες σου σκέφτηκα πόσο τυχερός είσαι που βρέθηκες εκεί, που βίωσες σκηνικά από μία άλλη κουλτουρά!! Υπέροχα!! Η φωτογραφία σου είναι πολύ όμορφη...με εξαιρετικά επιλεγμένο σημείο λήψης, ωραίους χρωματισμούς, "αγάλματα" που κινούν την περιέργεια...και τέλος, νομίζω εσωκλείει όλα εκείνα τα στοιχεία που κάνει κάποιον να θελήσει να μάθει περισσότερα για το Λάος και την κουλτουρα των ανθρώπων εκεί!

Να είσαι καλά!Καλό Σαβ/κο!

Hello Danos,
Interesting mystical story ... especially the part falling & landing into his teacher/master's lap. I have not seen a place like this before. Great capture & POV of the big & small budhas. The visitors shows there show how big some of the Buddha statues are. Regards. Latiff.

Hello Danos,
Frankly I can understand why the place got its name..!
You do well with timing since the place is not overcrowded, probably wouldn't work so well with all the statues...
Effective point of view and many interesting details to explore!

an interesting and 'trek-earthy' capture, nicely showing the complexities of the park's layout. i am not happy with the light though: it seems as if the figures are disappearing in the background. but hey, i know, it's hard to catch "just the right light" when we travel. thanks for sharing this interesting sight.

with warm regards,

Αγαπητέ Δάνο γεια
Παρ' όλο το δύσκολο της λήψης, μας ταξιδεύεις πολύ όμορφα στα μαγικά μέρη που περνάς. Αν και το φως δεν είναι το καλύτερο, δημιουργεί όμως μια ενδιαφέρουσα μυστηριακή ατμόσφαιρα που ταιριάζει με το θέα σου.

The guy that designed this, fled Laos in 1975, & set up an almost identical park near Nong Khai, in Thailand. (I've been to the Thai version, but not the Lao one, so tfs).

Γεια σου Δάνο, εξαιρετική και εξωτική η φωτογραφία σου μας μεταφέρει την ατμόσφαιρα του ξεχωριστού αυτού καθώς φαίνεται πάρκου. Τα γλυπτά είναι εντυπωσιακά και η θέση λήψης που επέλεξες μας δίνει μια γενική άποψη σε μία πολύ καλή και πιστή καταγραφή από τον φακό σου. Σε χαιρετώ,

Hello Danos,
I must admit I don't like this picture. No, it's not your fault, you did your best with composition and light management so as to express the atmosphere of the park. My problem is even this atmosphere which is very far from my idea of Buddhism (like Ulf seems to have the same doubt) and reminds me on statue parks in Hungary where the monuments of the socialist era have been collected. (Or are these Hungarian parks my real problem?)
Anyway, it is definitely an interesting part of the world and I am grateful to you for having informed me about it.
Best whishes

Hi Danos,
fantastic perspective of the Buddha Park, with the old sculptures and their attractive forms and silhouettes. It seems a place with great enchantment and history, very spectacular.
It surprises the so great dimension to me of some of the sculptures, are immense! The WS is fantastic with the strange sculpture that closes the park.

Best regards, Jordi

Hi Danos,

This is a mixture of different religious artworks. The point of view is leading our eyes towards the end of the park. The presence of people has an effect of scale. The trees are a natural frame to the park. There is a good contrast between the colors. Have a nice day.
