Damp Vigil

A Buddhist monk waits in the rain for a vigil in support of Tibet at the Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall Tuesday, March 18, 2008, in Taipei, Taiwan. China's crackdown on protests in the Himalayan territory of Tibet has become an issue for candidates in Saturday's presidential election on the island of Taiwan. China controls Tibet and also hopes to eventually rule democratic Taiwan off the southern Chinese coast.
