The Monks of Cambodia

[Michael13]

Cambodia is a nation of Buddhists. Most all young men spend around 6 months in service, some stay years longer, some stay the rest of their lives. We saw them everywhere among the Temples of Angkor. The few nuns that I saw were considerably older. These were made back in February 2006 with my first DSLR, the 6 megapixel Nikon d70.

Nice rendering of the robe colors and some good images all the way around.

Great job with the good old D70. That was also my first DSLR. The digital cameras were finally at a price point that I could justify getting one.

I like this series, I think there is something to having to be in a group like the monks, or military to serve while younger that can build some character into a person.

Thanks Alan, those saffron robes really stand out in any light. Monks can't hide from anyone.

Thanks Jim, I agree, belonging to a group and learning some discipline is good for everyone.

What an experiance. Some are quite young, I wonder what the age limit is to be a Monk?
