Serenity
A Buddhist monk with a lotus flower at a Monastery in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
I spent the last 10 days mountain biking around Cambodia. We had a rest day in Phnom Penh and I asked my tuk-tuk driver, Mr Hen, to show me the real side of the city. It was wonderful. I didn’t see a western tourist all day!
The Monastery was our first stop. Luckily it happened to be a Buddhist holy day and there was a lot of activity.
This monk was very kind and genuinely interested in my life. He blessed me before I left.

The lighting is superb… and the monk looks deceptvively innocent! (Cambodian monks are the cheekiest I’ve met anywhere!)
