21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Tranquil Contemplation

At an ancient train station in Bangkok, Thailand, a monk peacefully rests on the platform. Despite being the sole person on the bench, he chooses to sit at the very edge, attentively watching the passing trains. It's as if he silently engages in a dialogue with the passing trains, immersed in the tranquility of his inner thoughts.
