Luang Prabang Laos Dawn Monks Collecting Alms with Wooden Bowls

by Sophie Harper

First light of dawn illuminates the ancient stone streets of Luang Prabang, Laos, where a line of saffron-robed Buddhist monks walks quietly past traditional wooden houses with steep tiled roofs. Local residents stand barefoot on the pavement, offering sticky rice into the alms bowls held by the monks. The soft morning glow highlights the texture of the aged wood and the vibrant robes against the muted earth tones of the street. A daily ritual in this UNESCO World Heritage city, with the silhouette of Mount Phousi visible in the hazy background under the pale sky.
