Luoyang Photos

A very big Buddah with a very small Gary in front! This is the carving with the 5m long ears in case you were wondering. It must have taken a while to chisle out all the rock around him - especially as he is flanked by some really evil looking statues! The second photo shows Vicki with the same Buddah, from accross the river. This is the best place to get an impression of just how many of these caves were carved out of the rock. It does look like an ants nest doesn't it?
