A large, colourful statue of a laughing, pot-bellied Buddha (Budai/Hotei) in a golden and red robe, wearing a prayer bead necklace and holding another in his right hand. He sits relaxed atop a large turquoise dragon with golden horns, whiskers and a gaping mouth of visible teeth. The statue shows wear, with paint flaking in several places. In the background, a large grey rock formation rises on the right, and the sky is clear and light blue. In the foreground and along the sides, various tropical plants grow in pots, including adenium (desert rose) with pink blooms and green shrubs. The scene is likely in a Buddhist temple garden in Southeast Asia. — Hua Hin Nov 13, 2019

Front view of a simple home in Southeast Asia, surrounded by a wire mesh fence with a bamboo frame and a locked gate in the middle. Behind the fence is a brown wooden door covered in graffiti. On the left, clothes and laundry hang on an improvised line, including a child's shirt and various textiles. On the right, kitchen utensils — pots, pans, sieves and baskets — are hung on the fence rails and stacked on shelves. A purple bag hangs in the middle of the fence. Tattered tarps and corrugated metal sheets stretch above the entrance as weather protection. On the left stands a red mailbox next to lush green plants with white blossoms. Potted plants, some with dried leaves, sit on the ground. The scene conveys a sense of modest, everyday life in a tropical environment, with plenty of improvised use of limited space. — Hua Hin Nov 11, 2019
