A man places a stone statue of the Bodhisattva Guanyin, commonly known as the Goddess of Mercy, on the lake at Giang pagoda, outside Hanoi, Vietnam, Nov. 19. The name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin which means observing the sounds, or cries, of the world, an important belief for Buddhists.

This is such a quiet picture for what I imagine to be a very noisy event with heavy machinery and a lot of people involved.
