In my visit to see the Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) at Lantau Island near Hong Kong, he was shrouded in fog, which made this San Franciscan feel right at home, and made the whole scene a lot more spiritual.

Very cool photo!
Thanks. Appreciate the kind comment.
I would say he is a mystery Buddha.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
He was very mysterious on that particular day.
That would look incredibly spiritual – if it wasn’t for the army of Asian visitors about to stampede over the one white photographer! Hahaha!
But sadly, that place is never empty enough for a shot like that, huh? Maybe it’s time for you to learn some bad-ass air-brushing / digital painting skills!
— hehehe … I think there was one other white guy up there at the time.
— yep, it was a little hectic, and getting clear shots was really tough. but i’m never one to say say never, and i got some other really amazing shots. some people were complaining about the fog, but it made for some awesome photography.
— actually, my digital skills are quite good, but sadly, it’s an issue of time. got too many other things going on with my business these days, and things like that slip through the cracks, unfortunately. you know how time consuming that can be.
lovely photo in the mist, the spiritual moments in life are sometimes like that, and others times brilliantly clear and bright 🙂
Hi! On this day, the fog actually seemed like a gift. it elevated the whole scene to a completely level. thanks for stopping by!
Big BUDDHA shrouded in fog – that’s an inspiration:
now I can imagine, he would rise and move and follow you …
haha! now THAT would be something!
mesmerizing … well done
Thank you, Isadora! I appreciate your kind words!
Love the air of mystery! We went there very early and it was much less crowded.
Hi Madhu … yes, this was around one in the afternoon. I think the fog actually kept more people from coming up the mountain, so the crowds weren’t as bad.
