Shanghai. Jing' an Si. At the back of the temple at the centre of the city. Motorbikes and mobiles are not foreign to today's monks.
Monk Parakeets love company. They are usually found in pairs or in larger groups. If one is alone, another one is nearby.

The ceiling of the Chapter Room at the Saint Meinrad Archabbey in Indiana is almost beyond description. I'm going to have to make a return trip because I utterly failed to capture this room the way I wanted to -- I even forgot to take a shot of the whole room. It was overwhelming.

The Chapter Room is where the Benedictine monks meet to conduct business, and it's a long room lined on both sides with Romanesque windows and dark wooden chairs. The walls and ceiling are completely covered in amazing murals painted in the 1940s by Brother Gregory de Wit, a Benedictine monk visiting from Belgium. The walls are covered in scenes from the Benedictine Rules and the ceiling depicts Creation. Does it ever!
