พระพุทธบาทน้ำทิพย์ (พระพุทธบาท ๗ รอย) บ้านภูพานทอง ต.สร้างค้อ อ.ภูพาน จ.สกลนคร
On facebook, I came across this picture of a natural Buddha footprint, which intrigued me:

pictures elsewhere on the web look even more impressive:

Checking on map, I noticed I have been at the temple, but didn't know of the footprint which is in the forest (about 200 m from hwy 213). Ask my friend in Sakon Nakon to go there again.
What used to be an idyllic spot (judging from the pictures above) is currently a construction site, and it's brown and dusty in dry season:
(it looks like 3 different footprints on the banner, but its' the same with pictures taken from different angles)
Across the road (hwy 213) is the main temple with a large golden Buddha on a white/mirror pedestal:

And a total of 119 sitting Buddha statues in 4 rows plus a bigger one at the end:
