Monk Bretton Prior, near Barnsley. A Cluniac Priory founded in the 1150s by Adam Fitz Swain. It was the place of the Black Monks found in the Geste of Robin Hood. Following the dissolution, it was home to the Armyne and Talbot families.

Whilst on my morning run warming up for training (with camera as it was my last day), this monk approached me asking if I could photograph him and his temple! You never know what is round the corner in Thailand!

Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...
- Unicef
and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.
Burma. Monks chating.

Thanks to my friend Jen (who invited me) and monk Wangs Lama (who gave us the grand tour) I was able to takes some pictures at a children's monastery. The kids live there, get food & an education, free of charge - a great solution for parents otherwise unable to send them to school or even feed them. When they reach the age of 18 (or finish school) they're free to choose to stay in the monastary and continue life as a monk, or live a life outside, study and find work.
