Laos - Monks on the Mekong
28 images
The spiritual capital of Laos is home to thousands of monks, hundreds of temples and an endless supply of beautiful sunsets. Life along the Mekong comes to a gentle halt at the town of Luang Prabang, and when it comes time to leave we're all reluctant to move on.
Behind The Scenes
These images were taken during a photography tour I lead for Grasshopper Adventures. The Ancient Kingdoms Photo Tour runs in November each year, is open to just 8 people each trip and for two weeks we get thoroughly spoiled by the charms of South-East Asia!

Also check out the Northern Laos Photo Tour run by a good friend of mine, Paul Wager. He's lived in Luang Prabang for 8 years and shares my philosophy of the camera. Catch him on tour if you can!
