Buddha in the Heat

This white Buddha in a shady location  looks quite cool.  About to head off on a stroll. I wasn't!  I took refuge from the heat on my bike ride yesterday, by stopping in the shade at temple complex (Wat Tha Pha) on the Mekong about 30 km upstream from Vientiane.  Even with an early start it was a hot ride. One of those days where its 34/35 at 8.00 am but feels like 40 +.
