Taken on November 1, 2016 at the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore
Believe it or not, this is a seven ton bronze sculpture. It’s only painted white and only appears to be a material as light as plastic. That seven tons is cantilevered off that one arm (i.e. the back of the hand is all that touches the ground.)
It’s called “Planet” and it was sculpted by Marc Quinn in 2008.
Here is a pic from farther away that may offer more sense of scale.

DAILY PHOTO: The Giant Buddha of Wat Thai, Sarnath
Taken on October 25, 2015 at Wat Thai in Sarnath
Being one of the four most major pilgrimage sites of Buddhism, Sarnath has a number of temples built by members of countries with large Buddhist populations. Among these countries is Thailand. (FYI: There is also a Chinese Temple, a Japanese Temple, and a Tibetan Temple.) While the guidebook advice is that these modern temples are skippable, an exception might be made for Wat Thai, which is both nearby to the [unskippable] Archaeology Museum and has a giant Buddha statue.
Here is the sign for the giant Buddha.
