This is one of my favourite pictures. As in the ones I took myself.
At a glance, the monk looks like he's floating above ground. The phrase that came to my mind was 'the Lightness of Being'.
This one too. A monk in contemplation.
Just like the rest of us, sometimes :)

Oh wow. I like the first pic very much. The weirdly-shaped trees just add in so much on the pic.
ReplyDeleteGood pics you have here! I like the first pic best! Did you ask the monks to pose for you, or were these candid shots?
ReplyDeleteJipp - it was indeed a very weird tree.
ReplyDeleteJulie - The first one, he was actually posing for his own photographer; I took this one at a whim and he smiled later when he saw me doing that so I guess that's a permission :)
The second one was candid. He didn't see me, maybe to deep in contemplation.
