I met this guy outside our guesthouse in Patong Beach one sunny morning. He was passing by, while I was busy preparing myself to step out on 40c and 70% humid reality.....
Usually budhist monks are world apart and not socialising with foreigners ''farangs'' , but NOT this guy....after exchanging nods he make himself comfortable on the chair and start conversation. His English was at the same level as my Thai unfortunately, but his calmness, happiness, willingness to help is something I will never forget . He make my day, and i will remember him for a long time,

Every day at 3 pm, Monks have a show of mental dexterity by challenging each other to knowledge drills on scripture. This heated exchange keeps them alert and active in their spiritual pursuits. The sitting monk is allowed to stay in place until the standing monk has bested him in his knowledge. The exchanges show the monks burning desire for self improvement. The event is an exciting time each day, a lot of people come to view the proceedings with reverence.
thanks for reading...jhe
The Monks at Bransholme North off the roundabout as you head towards Kingswood and Bransholme North these are beautiful wood carvings on your left if driving into the area. Taken on the 31 March 2019
Strange one this, I'd just got off the night bus from Yangon at 5am and from 9am I spent the rest of the day on the back of a motorbike getting a guided tour of the ancient cities around Mandalay. I wasn't fussed by coming to see the unusual tourist spot of watching the monks at a monestrey near Amarapura collect their food for the day, but my driver said we should go. They get 'fed' at around 10.30am and are not allowed to eat at all after midday. It is a very hard life they live as monks.
Officially known as the Monks Cowl, I think this guy looks more like a North American Indian, so I call him Jeronimo.

Nestled in the heart of rural Sussex, Monk’s House is a tranquil 17th-century weatherboarded cottage inhabited by Leonard and the novelist Virginia Woolf from 1919 until Leonards death in 1969.
The Woolfs bought Monk's House for the 'shape and fertlity and wildness of the garden'. Today, the lovely cottage garden contains a mix of flowers, vegetables, orchards, lawns and ponds.

After more than a year I went to Cetatuia Monastery again. And I took another shot of the Monks' House.

Cong Abbey is a historic site located at Cong, on the borders of counties Galway and Mayo, in Ireland's province of Connacht. Founded in the early 7th century, by Saint Feichin, the abbey was destroyed by fire in the early 12th century. Turlough Mor O’Connor, the High King of Ireland, refounded the abbey circa 1135. His son Rory O'Connor, the last High King of Ireland before the Norman invasion, constructed new buildings and also lived the last 15 years of his life at the abbey[1], dying in 1198. The monastery adopted the Augustinian rule some years later.
The Norman knight, William de Burgh, attacked Cong in 1203, and again the abbey was rebuilt.
The present church, and possibly the fragmentary cloister where the monks worked and prayed, belong to the rebuilding of the early 13th century. The north doorway of the church, and the elaborate doorways that open onto the cloister from the east range of the monastery, may pre-date the attack by William de Burgo. The doorway with two fine windows on either side belongs to the chapter house, where the monastery’s daily business was conducted as well as a chapter of the rule being read each day. This was also where the community gathered to confess their sins publicly. The sculpture in the abbey, which is some of the finest in Ireland, suggests links to French styles of the period.
The grounds of the abbey also contain a monk’s fishing house, probably built in the 15th or 16th century, on the bank of the River Cong leading towards nearby Lough Corrib. The house is built on a platform of stones over a small arch which allows the river to flow underneath the floor. There is a trapdoor in the floor which may have been used for a net, and the monks could sit beside the fireplace making the task of catching fish a little more comfortable. It is thought that a line was connected from the fishing house to the monastery kitchen to alert the cook to fresh fish.
we had a medival feast night for my co-op a while back and i decided to go as a monk. So Mrs. Mayo gave this hair cut.......i had so much fun.

The Mandalay Airport - Monks have a reserved row of seats, marked in orange. Monks get small perks throughout the country. In this case - it's more practical: since monks can not touch women, their seating needs to be segregated to avoid rubbing elbows.
I made these two for a swap with Odd Dotty. We had a "inspired by the picture" doll swap and it was a lot of fun.
This guy is a tiny monk figure. The cape is removable, he looks like an alien without it.

Monks Siding box in the distance, Monks Siding’s number 17 down goods home signal in the foreground, in between the two is Monks tall elegant number 3 up goods home signal with Littons inner distant and Crossfields number two distant beneath.
Times are a changing at Warrington.
Over a distance of just 68 chains (0.85 of a mile) from Arpley Junction to Monks Sidings four signal boxes controlled trains on the Low Level line from Arpley Junction to Ditton East Junction.
Four absolute block boxes, Arpley Junction, Crosfields Crossing, Littons Mill and Monks Siding provided a taste of railways of old. Leaving Arpley Junction the line passes under the WCML and Warrington Bank Quay station before emerging surrounded by industry in the midst of Lever Brothers massive soap powder works. Crosfields Crossing is just 726 yards from Arpley but then only a further 220 yards, an eighth of a mile no less, is Littons Mill, another crossing box, a further 550 yards beyond that is Monks Crossing, again a crossing box and once access to a former British Steel works site.
This short section of track is to be re-signalled and this is actually happening this week. The new signalling will utilise track circuit block between Arpley Junction and Littons Mill using axle counters.
This is a series of photos aimed at recording the signalling of this section of track which has now passed into history.
