Very handsome young man. I showed the picture to my granddaughter, who said, "I like those PJs!"Rayyan on Rayyan...the younger one.!!
Beautiful images. I especially like that first one. The dock reducing to the vanishing point is very effective.
Matt...So Fricken Awesome!!!:salute:
Lloyd/Steve/Jorgen: Thank you, gentlemen! I drove my wife to a "book club" she's thinking of joining; and, found myself in Kirkland with some spare time and a camera (well, there's always a camera).Very good, Matt, very, very good!

Rayyan: Thank you, sir! That plaque just seemed like a contemporary joke with the "nose thumbing". I guess such gestures are timeless.Matt, simply and stunnigly beautiful!!:thumbs::thumbs:
Tim: Thanks! The breeze around here is more of a cold February one! Sorry, a petty complaint compared to Lloyd's on-going Winter.Aye Matt, what they said! I can almost feel the cool breeze. Nice!

Rayyan: +1! Great portrait. Thoughtful look. Nicely balanced composition.Very handsome young man. I showed the picture to my granddaughter, who said, "I like those PJs!"
Jorgen: Beautiful lines and rhythm. Makes me want to know more. The novices (?) are filing by; receiving gifts from the women - prayers, something physical?; about to enter a door - temple or metaphorical? Excellent photo leading me to a lot of questions. :thumbup:D300 with 80-200 AF-S @ 112mm and f/5.0
Jorgen: Very cool. You can see the emotion and happiness in the women's faces. It is prayer through giving. :salute:Thanks Matt.
Here's the story:
The monks, who are all children from 6 to 12, are only monks for a few weeks. Most of them come from poor families in a nearby area. It's normal for monks to go out and get food from people in the morning, but these were about one hundred. The event was apparently well announced in advance, and people gave them lots of food and.... sweets. That's not the usual monk diet, but I guess they made an exception for these guys
I stumbled upon them by coincidence, and followed them around for an hour. I can assure you: it was an extremely emotional experience.
For Buddhists, giving food to monks is an important part of the religious life, so this exercise is generally seen as very positive for all involved.
Lloyd, tell your granddaughter that you shall get her the same!!:thumbs:Very handsome young man. I showed the picture to my granddaughter, who said, "I like those PJs!"
Matt, cheers.:thumbs:Rayyan: +1! Great portrait. Thoughtful look. Nicely balanced composition.
