Buddha in the air

I think buddha would have smoked a kush.

I captured an image while on a vacation to Tagaytay, Philippines. It’s a wonderful place, an island in a lake that is basically the crater of a volcano.  There was a lookout point way up on the edge of this crater that looked out onto this phenomenal place where this Buddha statue was perched, overlooking the view.  It isn’t so much the Buddha statue that attracted my eye to this scene, but the way the clouds seemed to surround the head of the Buddha as I stood on that particular angle.  I used Fuji Velvia 50ASA film with a polarizing filter on my Nikon F3HP with my 85mm F1.4 AIS manual lens.   I wanted to capture the detail of the cloud, the deep blue of the sky and the image itself.  It overwhelmed me with a sense of peace and laughter at the same time.
