Our neighbours were doing a bit of dog sitting and big old Trevor the Bullmastiff was there for a sleep over. He wasn't much in the mood for a photo shoot though and couldn't be bothered holding that huge head up off the ground...

Having a play trying to make something interesting out of this. Not sure it worked...

These were on the way into the Po Lin Monastery

Po Lin Monastery, established in 1906, is known as "The Sacred Place of the Buddha in the South" and is the first of the four most popular monasteries in Hong Kong. The Monastery was initially named "The Big Hut" when it was first built. Having gone through a century of development, Po Lin Monastery is now well developed with a number of structures including the Mahavira Hall and the Heavenly King Hall.

Ngong Ping sits high on the uplands some 460 metres above sea level at a 102-hectare plateau in the western-central part of Lantau Island. Monks and priests began settling in this pristine part of Hong Kong in the last century. They live a secluded life and practice Buddhism. Today, apart from some original rural settlements, Lantau is mostly known for its religious establishments such as monasteries, retreats and Buddhist halls.

Po Lin Monastery is a renowned attraction and a holy Buddhist ground in Hong Kong. The gardens and pavilions are well-established to blend in with the natural environment in Ngong Ping. Meanwhile, a new "Jeweled Hall of 10,000 Buddhas" is being built, which will feature 10,000 Buddha statues as well as a Buddhist Scripture Library and a Dharma Hall
