FLORIDA SPLENDID CHINA PARK |
The
original pictures were found on the web at various places. The center
pictures are from a trip in 2006, and the far right are from a trip
taken in November 2008. |

Grand Buddha in 2008... he has aged well! |
Here again the statue has held up really well. This is a replica of the original that stands the height of a 23 story building. The one in Florida is around 35ft tall... which is actually quite big in real life. Notice the little building near his foot is gone in 2006 and some of the ivy has grown. This guy is huge in real life. I wish I would have gone to get a picture standing by him.
