Preparing for the monks' arrival
LaosLuang PrabangMonks
The moon shining over a temple as the sun comes up
Some of the many preparing to offer food to the monks
Local merchants try to get in on the business
The procession begins
Monks of all ages participate
Taking the spiritual part of the event quite seriously
I love the saffron robes...
Apparently I almost joined the line at one point
