You could call this “Caught in the Act.” I was roaming through Chiang Mai, Thailand, on a cloudy morning when the young monks at one of the city’s numerous wats were called to prayer. As I started snapping through the carved archway this lad turned around.
I seem to have an affinity for urban monks. Maybe it’s how out of place, yet not out of place, they seem.

That’s really interesting Stevo. It almost looks like a two-headed monk…

As long as they aren’t metro-monks you should be OK with the local authortii..
There is something other-worldly about monks. I wonder what makes a boy so young decide to be a one?

Shawn: All boys in Thailand must be a monk for a period of time during adolescence. It can very from three months to one year.
