June’s wallpaper was taken in Wat Sissaket (Sissaket Temple), one of the oldest temples in Vientiane, on my recent visit to Laos. It was great being back in Laos after two years, though as expected, things had changed a little. I was able to observe our Metamorphic training program in full and catch up with some old friends.
Back to the Wallpaper! The image is a hand of one of the many Buddha statues that line the alcoves of the temple courtyard. The brilliant colours are from the robe draped over the Buddha.
Laos is primarily a Buddhist nation, with 67% of the Lao population identifying themselves as Buddhist. In practice, Lao Buddhism consists of a mix of Buddhist and Animist beliefs and ceremonies.
As usual, the wallpaper is available in a number of sizes:
June Wallpaper 1280 x 800 (or click on the image above)
June Wallpaper 1440 x 900
June Wallpaper 1920 x 1200
