[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is taken at the top of a temple called Wat Banan in the outskirts of the nice riverside town, Battambang. There was a lot of stairs to reach the top, which considering the heath and humidity was quite a challenge. Anyway, the munks were cheering me on the way up. Afterwards, they wanted to know basically everything about my life and what I thought of Cambodia.
It was of particular interest to discover that the second munk from the left had a big tattoo. It was not what I expected from a munk.
Hope you like the photo,
Best regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,
Nice shot, great contrast of colours, just seems a shame the nearest monk has a foot missing from the photograph. Good note too.
Adrian

hi Jan,
very nice shot, good colours,
I like it,
regards Igor

Hi Jan,
a beautiful and colourful picture. They look so nice and friendly. By the way it is not sorare that Biddhist monks have tatoos. Even I posted a pic of a monk with great tatoos on his whole body.
Best wishes,
Nino
