Pak Ou Caves
Tham Tin (lower cave) and Tham Theung (upper cave) are on the Mekong River near the mouth of the Ou river, about a two-hour boat ride upriver from Luang Prabang. They contain Buddha in many different positions, including meditation, teaching, peace, rain, and reclining (nirvana).
The lower cave has a large, jagged opening and from there one has a nice view of the river. Inside are Buddha galore.
Love the zip-off legs |
The Buddha line the dark walls and alcove. Flash was used here so it doesn't look dark, but it was. |
Digital cameras can photograph in near darkness. The following were taken without flash.
