Asian Geographic: Giants over time and space
Asian Geographic, October 2010
Deep in the Gobi desert there is a sculpture of a Silk Road messenger astride a galloping horse, 150 metres from nose to tail, built from vivid white rocks across the undulating browns and yellows of the desert topography.
On a hillside outside Kurunegala, Sri Lanka, a lion has been built from stone, stark against the black rock beneath it and the jungle around it.
And in Cappadocia, Turkey, 10 stone and basalt sculptures, made from 10,500 tons of material and seven kilometres of rock wall between them, stretch more than two kilometres down a limestone valley: a grinding wheel, a horse, a griffin.
