Monochrome Monday - Hand Gesture
This photo shows a hand gesture (also called Mudra) of a Buddha statue up in Genting Highland. There are several key mudras portrayed in Buddha statues. This one is called the Teaching mudra. It is said that the Buddha was teaching the Four Noble Truths when he had this hand gesture.
This photo is posted for the Monochrome Monday's meme.
"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith

Hi Angie,
I use a Fuji Finepix S650D camera. It's a prosumer. I have just started using this camera for less than 2 years. It serves me well as I have a little taste of DSLR features and at the same time it allows me to capture video shots too.
