Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery -Singapore

The Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery in Singapore is apparently
the largest Buddhist Monastery outside China!. Here part of it is seen
in the low light of the Sunset on the day before Vesak Day. A
procession thousands of people taking 3 steps then kowtowing was just
starting. That continued through the entire night.


The size an design of these buildings is truly impressive!


You can see the beginning of the procession HERE

Monks from the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery - Singapore

A close up of two of the Buddhist Monks leading the procession around
the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery. There is a group of hundreds
of people following. They all take 3 steps & then drop all the way
to the ground.


This is in honour of Vesak Day (also known as Buddha Day).


It is extremly hot & humid in the Equatorial climate and this is hard work! If you look LARGE On Black you can see the sweat on the Monks!


You can see a wider shot of the scene & more people HERE

Shop Houses - Front - Arab Street Singapore

The back alley behind some of the colourful "shophouses" in Singapore's
busy Arab Street. This was taken early on a Sunday morning, before the
bustle.


There is a photo of the front of these shophouses


Note the "Sultan Mosque" in the distance.


As I will be leaving Singapore permanently soon, I want to share some of the sights.


I bet you didn't know that this would look a lot better LARGE On Black!
