Photographer’s Note

I snaped this picture of the monk just leaving the Bayon Temple around noon on a scorching day last year in January. We were just about to leave this magnificent temple when I turned around for a last look through my 200 lens when he came out. It was a lucky shot I admit but what a joy for a photographer.
The temple as most of the other temples around Siem Reap is still used as a place for worship my the Buddhist monks in the area.

Hi Tony,

I like the contrast between the monk and the temple, he is perfectly placed in the image. You say you were lucky, but you have to be good to be lucky.
