[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In Myanmar it's believed that building a pagodas improves one's karma and brings one closer to nirvana. So, there are countless pagodas around Myanmar and countless Buddha statues within them. Here is one more Buddha statue, almost completed.

(cgnaa probably knows better than me - I just guessed that it was Buddha based on the elongated ears).
