Usually, when I take a shot of a monk at a shrine or wat the photograph has a certain reverence to it. This one from a wat in Chiang Mai, at first glance would appear to be a novice monk attending to a small shrine. Actually, with a few free minutes, like kids the world over, he was immersed in a fantasy world he’d created, busily playing with no regard to where his playground was at.

I think Buddha would have been pleased.
