Hanoi - An explosion of color








Large temples are filled with images of generals and kings

Smaller one may have images of the Mother Goddess

And then there is Ho Ch Minh , the true patron saint

 This most extraordinary Buddha has 1000 heads and hands - Vishnu-like.  Seen in the Fine Arts Museum

Other amazing finds in the Fine Arts Museum
