The previous post- the photo of the girl riding her bike with an umbrella /sunshade has been well received so I have been diving into the library again looking for more photos from Myanmar and I found these two for starters. Both taken on 24th December 2012 at the same temple in Mandalay.
Although they were taken nearly 13 years ago I can remember the exact circumstances where and when I took them.
We were with a small group who were travelling down the Irrawaddy River on a small riverboat starting out from Mandalay the next day. We had already visited two temples and I was beginning to experience early symptoms of "not another temple" fatigue. So I hung back from the group and by luck spotted these two photo ops.
The photos were taken with my Leica X1 which even today I would still rate as one of the best of the many cameras I have owned. Small, light, with simple controls/menus and superb image quality it is still a star 16 years after it was launched.
