In memory of 22nd September 2007

Burmese monks marched past a military blockade to pray in front of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi's house.

Addendum: This photo was not taken during the recent protests, but in a monastery in January 2007.

Wonderful shot, the mood is captured perfectly. I took some shots of the Burmese protesters when i was last in London, but I haven't had a chance to post them yet. Very moving watching them
