The Monks in the state highway worker orange dresses are a frequent sight.

I’d been trying to get a decent picture of the monks passing through the neighborhood collecting alms. My only opportunity was Sunday when we didn’t work. I sat outside waiting. When the opportunity came, my camera battery was dead. I replaced it and got a few shots. There are many monasteries in the neighborhood with the closest located at the end of my block.

The monks pass by. Those with petitions, place their sacrifice in the bowls of each of the monks, and then they pray together.
