These Buddhist monks were touring their own country. In the city of Luang Prabang,Laos, they were gracious enough to answer some of our questions about their daily routine, and pose for this picture. Having witnessed a very spiritual and moving ritual that morning, of alms giving to the monks in the city's streets, this picture is a stark contrast to that solemn existence.
