Caption: Luang Prabang, Laos - Sep 2003. Buddhist statues in the Pak Ao Caves. These two limestone caves jut out of a cliff on the Mekong River above Luang Prabang. Made auspicious by local monks, the caves are filled with hundreds of Buddha images. Monks offered the statues as a homage to the river so that travellers on its waters may be safe.
