  • Young-boy-trying-to-hit-bell,-Reclining-Buddha-shrine,-Yangon,-Burma<br /> <br /> This little guy struggled mightily to get the heavy wooden pole up to where he could use it to hit the prayer bell
  • Head of the 70 m long Reclining Buddha, Chaukhtatgi Temple, Yangon, Burma<br /> <br /> The statue is housed in a huge, warehouse-like building (see photo in the Yangon 2 gallery) that really distracts from the image, hence the black background.<br /> <br /> I've been neglecting the photos from my fantastic trip to Myanmar, so I'm now trying to find time to edit them.

  • Close-up-of-the-birds pulling the Royal Barge, Kandawgyi Park, Yangon, Burma<br /> <br /> I couldn't figure out why 'ducks' were pulling the barge, so I looked it up, The birds are called Hamsh, traditionally geese or swans. They are a symbol of "purity, detachment, divine knowledge, cosmic breath (prana) and highest spiritual accomplishment". A high level of symbolism is attached to water birds as they can walk on the earth, fly in the sky, and swim in the water.

    Neat portrait! Why do they outline the baby's eyes and put the black dot on it.
