Built in the early 14th century and still has the citie's only working portcullis. It was intended as a self-contained fort, and each floor is capable of being defended separately. The current gatehouse was built to replace a 12th-century gate known as Munecagate, which stood 100 yards (91 m) to the north-west, on the site of the Roman gate porta decumana.

Plagiarism - What's The Difference?
Jakar Dzong, Bhutan. The huge prayer wheel and the small monk were blurred with a long exposure. I'm sure I'm not the first photographer to have used a long exposure for this subject, but as long as I am not copying someone else's photograph, I have nothing to fear! David Oliver and I are leading a group to Bhutan next year - only a few places left, so get in touch if you're interested.
In the AIPP's The Working Pro newsletter this month, I wrote a piece about plagiarism - the direct copying of someone else's work. In the old days of painting, it was usual for a student to directly copy the work of his master as a process of learning. For photographers today, that process is still highly recommended, except if you do copy someone else's photograph, don't enter it into a competition or post it on social media as though it were your own.
The problem isn't in the copying, it is in misrepresenting the photograph as being your own work.
So, what about subjects that have been photographed before? We've all seen photographs of the Sydney Opera House, so does that mean when we take our own photos of the Opera House we are plagiarists? Of course not - unless we take along someone else's photograph of the Opera House and seek to copy it directly.
If plagiarism were based on subject matter, portrait photographers would be in trouble because we all take photos of people! It's not the subject matter as much as the way or the manner in which the photo is taken. If you apply your own individual style and approach, that should usually be enough to distinguish yourself.
On social media recently, there have been a few examples of photographers exhibiting images that are incredibly similar to the work of other photographers. What these photographers might not always recognise is the amount of discussion about the similarity that happens elsewhere. It doesn't paint them in a good light. This isn't to say that just because a photograph is very similar to someone else's that it was copied. It could be coincidence and so we should also be careful not to accuse someone of plagiarism before we know all the facts.
It's an interesting subject and one that has many interesting facets and turns!

The Monk's Walk. A double oval of lime trees planted in the early 1700's in the grounds of Gisborough Priory (so nothing to do with the original occupants of the priory).
A young monk looks back at me as everyone sings the holy hymns that are required to be recited daily for one to be a learned Monk. Young Monks around the age of 7 or even younger start living in monastries and follow a very strict routine in order to become a good learner and devotee. Loved the vibe of this monastery, smiling happy monks all around!!
On a misty day 47060 is passing Monk's Sidings near Warrington with a train of empty steel flats.

The Monk Parakeet, Mouse Parakeet or Torres Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) is a parakeet from Argentina and the southern part of Brazil in South America. As an exotic, these birds do far too well in Europe and North America. The green, aggressive and noisy parakeets have become a real plague in many southern European countries.
Tibetan Buddhist monks see Boudhanath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal, as an important place of pilgrimage and worship. They sit for hours chanting prayer; this one, accompanying the long chants with intermittent drumming on a small two-headed drum and blasts on a strange horn.

Buddhism in Laos is largely of the Theravada school. Nearly 60% of the Lao population is Buddhist of the Theravada school, though Buddhism in this country has become integrated with folk beliefs such as ancestor worship. Buddhism was based on the religious movement founded in the sixth century B.C. by Siddhartha , later known as the Buddha, who urged the world to relinquish the extremes of sensuality and self-mortification and follow the enlightened Middle Way...... The focus of this religion is on man, not gods; the assumption is that life is pain or suffering, which is a consequence of craving, and that suffering can end only if desire ceases. The end of suffering is the achievement of nirvana often defined as the absence of craving and therefore of suffering, sometimes as enlightenment. Like in most other Theravada nations, Buddhism in Laos is represented primarily by the presence of Buddhist monks, who serve as officiants on ceremonial occasions, as well as being responsible for preserving and conveying the teachings of the Buddha.
Every family expect for every young man to live as a monk for awhile (a week till single months) between school time and their working life.
Their lifestyle is shaped so as to support their spiritual practice, to live a simple and meditative life. In Thailand the buddhist are being more strict to the simple life than in Loas where monks even drink fruitshakes ;-)
Een groot deel van de Laostiaase bevolking, zo’n 60% is boeddhist. Men hangt het zogenaamde Teravada-boeddhisme. In het Theravada wordt meditatie benadrukt als een essentieel onderdeel van het pad naar verlichting, samen met moreel gedrag en wijsheid. Het brengen van een einde aan het lijden is het hoofddoel van het Theravada boeddhisme. De Boeddha legde verder een zeer gedetailleerde gedragscode voor de Monniken neer: de Vinaya. Over het algemeen worden monniken door de Boeddha aangemoedigd om wereldse aangelegenheden en passies achter zich te laten, zodat zij gemakkelijker in staat zijn een staat van vrede en wijsheid te bereiken, en sterke ongezonde emoties zoals haat, verlangen en lust te overwinnen. Een Monnik zoals hierboven in z'n oranje gewaad, kaalgeschoren en met sandalen aan de voeten is niet meer weg te denken uit het straatbeeld van Laos.
Er wordt van iedere jongeman verwacht, dat zij een poosje (van een week tot enkele maanden) als monnik leven. Zo tussen hun schooltijd en hun werkende leven in. Het wordt beschouwd als een overgangsrite en zij verwerven op die wijze aanzien voor zichzelf en hun familie.

At Sera Monastery, Lhasa.
Sera Monastery, "Wild Roses Monastery" is one of the "great three" Gelug university monasteries of Tibet, located 2.01 km north of Lhasa and about 5 km3 north of the Jokhang. The other two are Ganden Monastery and Drepung Monastery. The origin of its name is attributed to a fact that the site where the monastery was built was surrounded by wild roses in bloom.
The original Sera Monastery is responsible for some 19 hermitages, including four nunneries, which are all located in the foot hills north of Lhasa.
The Sera Monastery was founded in 1419 by Jamchen Chojey of Sakya Yeshe of Zel Gungtang (1355–1435), a disciple of Je Tsongkhapa.
During the 1959 revolt in Lhasa, Sera monastery suffered severe damage, with its colleges destroyed and hundreds of monks killed. After the Dalai Lama took asylum in India, many of the monks of Sera who survived the attack moved to Bylakuppe in Mysore, India.
Sera Monastery in Tibet and its counterpart in Mysore, India are noted for their debate sessions.
