I got out of bed at 4:45 this AM after having been awake every hour on the hour. I had to ring the bell three times to get out and pick up Jeannne... but we got there. Note to self.. If you get there at 7...sit on the right side of the street...just as good as getting there at 5 and much better than sitting on the left. All good They laid out plastic sheets on the ground with red stripes where the monks walk. in about a half hour, the streets started to fill and by 7 packed.
Chanting and speaches went on and on... In this pic, the woman with the glasses is passing a stick with money to the woman in the shall. The sun is up now and it is starting to get hot.
It is always amazing how calm and quiet the children are. Many were there close to 5:30 and this big kid was having trouble sitting.
There were some interesting adults.. and again the long lens can get some shots without intruding. The girl on the left was munching on the monk food. Maybe she thought sweet snacks would not be a good offering.
This woman walked by and while it is not a full face shot... I think it was interesting.
There are many attractive women.. but the rugged is more interesting to me.
There are young old red brown monks of all discriptions
