Moments of sun, rain and always gold

With over 20 pagodas in the city proper, there is no surprise there are visible monks in Luang Prabang.

Admittedly, this one was more visible than most.
It is one of the more stylish approaches to protect against the elements I have ever seen.

Using umbrellas as sun shield was something I first saw in Southeast Asia. Now these phenomena are everywhere.
Even in the Norwegian mountains hikers and trekkers are using umbrellas.

Traces of a morning walk in the Otago Peninsula, north of Dunedin, New Zealand

Take nothing but pictures,
Leave nothing but footprints,
Kill nothing but time,
Keep nothing but memories,

I accept and am a firm follower of these travellers ethos and credos.

Moments of sun.
Moments of rain.
Moments of gold.

The Luang Prabang monk prepared for any weather.

Admittedly, it is one of the more stylish approaches to the elements I have ever seen.
