I was out on the street in the very early morning as a monk passed by making his rounds in my Bangkok Thailand neighborhood. He will go up and down the streets and people will come out, give gifts, and receive blessings. By mid-morning this work will be done and the monks will be gone until next time.
This is a normal occurrence on a set schedule. Thai Buddhists have special calendars they use to know which days rounds will be made.
As a person who suffers with arthritis that effect my feet badly, I am always focused on the bare feet of the monks as they walk, and wonder how they do it. The monk can be of any age and are often older that me. The streets are very clean here, but not that clean.
Not seen in this shot is a person helping the monk to carry gifts the people give. There are also small “monk trucks” somewhere nearby who gather everything and drive the monks and helpers to their various stops.
Today’s post is for #colorchallenge #tuesdayorange by . I use a Canon ELPH160 point and shoot camera for my photos.
Losing weight was the best thing that ever happened to me. Anyone can get over obesity and live their dreams if I did.
AND REMEMBER !!!
