We were visiting Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon in rainy season when I noticed this monk taking shelter from the persistent drizzle. I loved the fact that he has everything with him; his umbrella, bottle of water and the newspaper!
Quite by accident we found out that a theatergroup was going to perform the English Mystery Plays at Monk Bretton Priory. We were curious as to where that was and what it looked like, so we went for a day out and (of course) took our cameras with us!!
Monk Bretton Priory is an old ruin in the town of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. It's just a short busride and walk from where I live.
As you can see we had glorious weather that day and taking pictures there was absolutely fantastic. It's a huge site and even when there are more people around the peace and tranquility is maintained.
The site is freely accessible for picnics, wandering around, silent contemplation or anything else you can think of.

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.

Monk's restaurant in False Creek recently closed down. Although its deserted the neon sign shines bright.
The monks chanted a teaching of the Buddha in Pali, his language, for several minutes, after which he sprinkled water around the house. After that the monks ate the food they'd been offered, and then everyone ate. When that was over, the monk translated the chant into Thai and gave a sermon about it. My wife said that in the sermon he said that only good thoughts and deeds could truly bless a house, among other things.
