Monks waiting to receive alms, Mandalay, Myanmar

Every morning, the monks are up before dawn for prayers before setting off for their alms round to receive food from local people. They are preceded by an elderly gentleman ringing a bell to let people know that they are coming. They proceed at a brisk walking pace so brisk in fact that we dubbed it the ' monk run' IMGL1293
