Zen monk

A long drive this morning from Nha Trang to Dalat, but worth it to see the scenery as we went up into the mountains.

A quick loo stop at Dalat railway station was fun, with it's Art Deco style, original fittings and ancient trains, then a walk through Dalat Market provided greats sights (and not so great smells).

A visit to Bao Dai's summer palace in the afternoon was followed by a visit to the Truc Lam Pagoda and Zen Monastery, a beautiful place, both within the pagodas and the gardens alike...and by chance I was lucky enough to catch this shot there too.
