Looks quite peaceful in this shot. This is the huge reclining Buddha at the Long Son Pagoda in Nha Trang, Vietnam. I tried to find some information about the meaning of the reclining Buddha and all I've been able to find is that it represents Buddha's death and detachment from the world. I guess that would explain all the monks in the background that appear to be mourning.
