Frescos from Temples in Luang Prabang

Some beautiful frescoes in a state of disrepair in the neglected temples of Luang Prabang. We felt a little guilty about taking photos but they maybe gone completely soon unless restoration plans are put in place. The narrative paintings impressed me most within the Buddhist compounds that we visited. Funny naive cartoons and depictions of excessive violence. All of this and reading particularly about Tibetan Buddhism throws up lots of question about the "incarnate Dalai Lama". A lovely bloke I'm sure, but also the reincarnated military leader of Tibet.
