Offerings

I love all the garlands of flowers you see all over the

streets of India and Thailand.

In Thailand these offerings (such as the bottle of Fanta

with a sweet smelling garland of Jasmine around its

neck) are placed in the shadow of a building, to thank

Buddha for the use of the land it is built upon.

Monk

The thing I love about these shots is that it shows

months in a different light.

They are normally associated with their stoic, zen like

spirituality. Here you see them not only in meditation,

but scootering around , catching public transport,

laughing and just getting on with inner city life like all

of us.

Streetspaghetti is all about this .

Oh, and monks are usually the most elegantly dressed

on the street as well. Nothing like a saffron robe, brown

leather sandals, simple cotton satchels and sandalwood

beads . Don't you think?
