The statue, built more than 800 years ago, was originally housed in a temple that was destroyed by either a great storm or a tsunami in 1495. It has sat outdoors since

Incredible photography. Many WOWs came out of my mouth while looking.
I also liked your Europe section a lot. It’s not just excellent technique but you expressed the atmosphere of Europe.
Thank you, I really enjoyed it.
