 ON THE WAY TO SEE RECLINING BUDDHA WHO SHOULD WE SEE BUT MICHAEL MANTZ RECLINING ON THE BACK SEAT AS HE WAS SO TIRED AND SLEEPY!
 A WHITE MAN AS RECLINING OR SLEEPING BUDDHA?
 PEACEFUL SLUMBER
 DANIEL RESTS HIS ARM ON HIS FATHER
 EXTERIOR OF RECLINING BUDDHA TEMPLE BUT IN MYANMAR THEY SAY PAGODA INSTEAD OF TEMPLE OR WAT
 ENTRANCE TO RECLINING BUDDHA
 UNLIKE OTHER TEMPLES, THIS ONE IS FREE
 LIST OF DOS AND DON'TS
 I WAS SHOCKED AT METAL SCAFFOLDING WHICH RUINS THE GLORIOUS VISION
 THE BUDDHA AND BUILDING WERE BUILT IN 1966 SO IS RELATIVELY NEW AND THEY COULD HAVE BUILT IT WITHOUT THE METAL STRUCTURE
 DANIEL MANTZ STANDS IN FRONT OF RECLINING BUDDHA BUILT TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE MADE IN 1907 BY SIR HPO THAR
 CHAUK HTAT GYI IS REFERRED TO AS 6-STOREY HIGH BUDDHA IMAGE JUST AS THE SITTING BUDDHA ACROSS THE ROAD IS CALLED 5-STOREY BUDDHA!  SO CHARMING AS EACH IS NAMED AFTER THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING!
 THE RECLINING BUDDHA IS 65 METRES LONG AND 16 METRES HIGH
 ONCE NEAR THE METAL SCAFFOLDING CANNOT BE SEEN
 HERE CAN SEE A BIT!
 THIS IS A PARTICULARLY BEAUTIFUL BUDDHA
 WHITE FACE, RED LIPS, BLUE EYES, GOLD ROBES AND RED TOENAILS
 PERFECT!
 I LOVE BUDDHA

 CURVED FEET SO ELEGANT
 65 METRES LONG AND 16 METRES HIGH

 THERE I WILL BE REUNITED WITH MY FIRST DEDIONE AS THE CURRENT DEDIONE IS MY SECOND AND ALSO MEET NANCIE FOO'S POODLE WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL DEDIONE
