Sin 02/19 -02/28 (Mel)

One of the things that I associate the most with Sin is a Snake because of the biblical story of the original Sin.

Buddhist people do not consider snakes evil and Naga scuptures are very popular in Buddhist temples. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_%28mythology%29)

I tried to blend these two concepts and decided to take a pic of a sculpture of Mucalinda, the king Cobra that (according to legend) protected Buddha from the rain. I found this amazing sculpture in a temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand.


I incresed the contrast in post processing to make it look darker.


Here's a pic of me with the Naga to show the size of the sculpure and its placement in the temple.
