Buddha-tastic (from Ruth in HK)

Shushan and I braved a ferry crossing across to Lantau Island, which thankfully was way less choppy than the Whitsundays sailing boat. There's a monastery with the biggest outdoor bronze buddha, like, ever (apparently there are lots of bigger buddhas but none that are bronze and/or outdoors, shrine fans). Tis v impressive but really not that holy, what with all the JCBs at the foot of the shrine, so I didn't feel too disrespectful taking a quick snap of Shushan...
