Pre-dawn Monks Alms Giving in Luang Prabang Laos with Saffron Robes

by Alejandro Hale

The still hours before dawn cast a deep indigo light over the ancient streets of Luang Prabang, Laos. Rows of Buddhist monks in saffron robes walk silently in single file along the wet pavement, their heads bowed in quiet contemplation. Local residents kneel on the sidewalks, offering small portions of sticky rice into the alms bowls held by the passing clergy. The traditional Lao architecture of the old town, with wooden structures and temple spires visible in the dim morning light.
