The sunrise as the caged Buddhas look on...

If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!

Each of these "bells" is really a stone cage that houses a Buddha statue that is seated, facing outwards. At this time in the morning, you can take little flashlights and peer inside the cages. It's all very eerie and fun...

In the distance, you can see a few volcanoes poking through the mist.

Hi friend :) Mi name is Ana and I love everything refering to hippie movement. I´m just trying to meet people that share and respect this lifestyle and way of making a better world. Peace and love.. just that. Why is it so difficult sometimes?
Well, if you have a hippie inside you and would be interested in sharing it, please tell me and lets add.
Thanks ! Peace and love :)

this is a cool photograph, an image like this is testament to the theory that, just HDR does not make a good photograph. Subject matter is crucial. Mission accomplished with this image, and thank you for sharing.
