Friday, October 12: The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is BIG. It’s larger than life, it’s unexpected, it’s the protagonist in a scene. It’s big. It often helps to have some normal object as part of the scene so people can understand the scale.
Share a picture which means BIG to you!
my son Alex in Seoul, South Korea with a BIG mushroom
the Jebiwon Buddha in Andong, South Korea
Gwanchok-sa temple in Nonsan has Korea’s largest free-standing stone Buddha image, Unjin Mireuk Buddha. The Buddha dominates the temple compound and looks out serenely at us. The statue is from the early Goryeo Dynasty and supposedly took 38 years to complete.
And finally, some BIG boulders at Wadi Tanuf in Oman.

Gosh, very Alex in Wonderland. Nicely big. 🙂
Haha, perfect observation, Veronica!

Hi Z! Yes, it does look like a giant pine cone, but it actually is a dead date palm tree. Funny! Thank you; I also like the composition of that picture. 🙂

Almost expected to see a picture of a giant white rabbit amongst all of these
Hilarious, crazytrain! Hmmm, I wonder if I have a white rabbit picture I could add to the collection!
Love the huge mushroom! 😀
Yes, Ioanna, me too. And so did my son Alex.
Love the contrast beyween the paper lamps(?) and the granite Jebiwon Buddha. Thank you for sharing. You have lovely images.
Thank you Richert! Glad you like them! 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
Great photos of big things. The big presumably a tree trunk in front of the big boulders first looked like a very big pine cone – and I was grateful we don’t have them that big in our yard!
That would be loads of fun, cleaning up pine cones that size!! It looks bizarre in that picture, like some prehistoric thing!
I’m gonna go with the Alex in Wonderful vibe that’s happening here…
I think now that it’s been suggested, how can we think of it any other way? 🙂
Love love love the mushroom!!
Thank you Expat Alien!! I love it too! Korea has so many unusual things EVERYWHERE!!

Interesting photos for the challenge, Cathy. That Buddha is HUGE! 🙂
Thank you Sylvia! I loved that Jebiwon Buddha!!
May I please have a mushroom that size on my dinner plate? Please please please – I promise to finish it in 1 go.
I know how you love your veggies Marco! Yes, I’ll be happy to serve this extra large one right up!!
Woohoo! Jackpot – ding ding ding! Okay I think I’ve had my moment, maybe time to go run off some off this energy *I have a feeling that it is going to be a very long day*
That is one big mushroom! They’re all great examples of big. (I wouldn’t mind having that mushroom planted in my backyard. lol!)
Thanks Robin! Yes, you could cook a lot of meals from a mushroom this size!
All wonderful examples but the last one is my favourite too 🙂
Thanks Madhu!
Thanks Madhu… I like that one too; i’m not sure why. I think because it looks like some prehistoric setting. 🙂
