Hyogo Daibutsu, Kobe, Japan

The original statue at Nōfukuji Temple in Kobe had been melted down in 1944 for the ‘Metals recovery ordinance’ during WW2. It was replaced in 1991 with the current version which is 11 meters tall, and weighs in at 60 tons.

Shot with Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. Edited in Lightroom 5.7.
