Wordless Wednesday - Longmen Grottoes

"Tourists gather to admire the Longmen Grottoes Buddhist sculptures, one of China's Unesco World Heritage sites, in Luoyang, central China."

I would dearly love to see these, and photograph them in person one day. It is wonderful to know that Unesco has taken such an active interest in preservation of these sites, and that they will be open to the public to admire, and learn from for future generations to come.

Happy Wordless Wednesday! And Thank You For Stopping By!
