Shot taken among the ruins of Angkorwat. The different reactions of the monks after seeing the photographer... me.

Photo taken at the Golden Temple during the prayer of the monks. There was a large hall where about fifty monks recited prayers like songs; another group of monks in a small hall at about ten meters, instead playing a rhythmic and almost hypnotic music, very beautiful. It was like a concert by two different rooms.

Bylakuppe is a small town two hours from Mysore, reserved for Tibetan refugees. These people fled China during the invasion of Tibet in 1959. Here live 10,000 Tibetans and more than 3000 are monks. The photo was taken near the Golden Temple, at the apartments of these monks.
