It's becoming archives time! Looking through my collections, I see that I have left many gaps in my images of Laos. One of the real surprises for me in Luang Prabang was finding this immaculate Citroen Traction, as the monks went past on their early morning walk. I've now seen a recent image of it with a new number "LAO&PR♥UD" in a very enjoyable narrative by ToonSarah, a travel writer on the travellerspoint website.

A "must do" thing, when visiting Luang Prabang, is to rise early and watch the alms giving and donating parade of hundreds of Buddhist monks through the town. I was fascinated to see this 1950s Citroen and a similar vintage Mercedes, as the monks passed by - with the colonial style buildings this image could well have been taken many years earlier, so I've given it a 'film' look. Best viewed large and see also clickable PiPs. HFF, best wishes for the weekend, everyone - and stay safe.

The morning street markets in Luang Prabang are open daily and all about fresh food. You can buy exciting fresh nibbles such as these crickets (see also PiP) - (just fry with a little chilli and other spices). If you wish, while they cook, you could sing along with this. Explored.

Stitched panorama on our former rural property, "Tiabunna" . Calving was timed for late winter, so the calves would be old enough to digest the new grass that began appearing in September. View large. HFF.

Early morning light on the misty Southern Tablelands. Music link here. Try viewing large. HFF! Explored.

Morning light and an old Gum Tree (Eucalypt to be more botanical): this particular species is known as a Candlebark.

Best on black. Happy Fence Friday!

Every morning, hundreds of Buddhist monks walk the streets of Luang Prabang to gather and distribute alms. With their saffron robes, they make a spectacular sight.
