This temple is in the town of Nyaung U, in the historical area of Bagan, Burma. It was built in 1102 during the reign of King Kyanzittha. We caught it as the sun set, the light reflecting off the gold leaf stupa.

It might make for a good anti-smoking skin-aging ad, if she didn’t look so great. She was such a lovely lady, living in a village outside Mandalay where everyone was involved in different parts of the process of producing wonderful metal bowls. Some people panned for the base metal, some people took it and melted it, others made the crude bowls, still others used hammers and tools to make them look pretty, then they were sold by the folks who lived up by the main road. I’m not sure what this lady’s role was in all the above. I like to imagine that it was her job to oversee everything while smoking cheroots, nodding sagely, keeping a beady eye on everyone.

Seemingly effortless balance until … much laughter (theirs) as one of them nearly takes an unplanned dip… / Where’s a movie camera when you need one? / ‘Leg rowers’ Inle Lake – Myanmar.

These monks paused in the light to pose for a tourist on the other side of the pillars. A lucky shot and one of my favourite. (Bagan – Myanmar). / Canon 350d.

Following our noses to Hsipaws famous popcorn factory, we hear giggled “I love you”s from the side of the road…turning we see nothing, hearing only excited giggles.. we walk on, following a delicious, hearty smell only to again hear a “hello.. hello” this time we quickly spin to hear a small child squeal and run off to her friends, hiding behind a bamboo fence enclosing their village.. We wandered over and they giggled with excitement.. most of the children would have been under 8 years old, there was one girl who was a bit older and could speak very basic English.. The smaller children jostled for a photo, what strikes me is the intense look of anticipation on their faces… most all the shots we took show a similar expression.. the little girl with the straw hat was quieter and smaller and only approached us when we were leaving.. I hadn’t taken her photo yet.. / Technically the photo is very flawed.. it’s blown out and full of shadows but it’s such a beautiful expression that I just did what I could to present it…

U Bein’s Bridge is located in Amarapura – a village near Mandalay, Burma. The bridge is built entirely of teak and is said to be the longest wooden bridge in the world. A large Buddhist Monastery is situated at the foot of the bridge. This explains the many monks and nuns that can be observed on the bridge at any time of day.

Critically Endangered The Bengal tiger, or Royal Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris or Panthera tigris bengalensis) is a subspecies of tiger primarily found in Bangladesh, India, and also Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and southern Tibet. The white bengel tiger is not an albino, it has blue eyes. The white coat and light features are caused by a recessive gene. Very few survive in the wild because they do not have the ability to camoflauge themselves in their suroundings. Sadly, there are those who breed them for their exotic looks all for money. Because they occur so rarely, many orange tigers die or are mistreated in the process. Tigers are solitary hunters. They love the water, and are not afraid to chase their prey down into the water. In fact, this is how tigers often get food. The wait for an animal to be drinking at a water hole, then scares the animal into the water, where the tiger will chase it farther into deeper waters, making it easier to catch. Tigers have retractable claws. This enables them to walk through rocky, grassy, muddy, or sandy areas without dulling their claws, which they need to hunt with. Tigers eat almost anything in their range that they can catch. Large and medium sized prey, ungulates, rabbits, wild boar, deer, buffalo, young elephants and rhinos, waterfowl, and elk, make up the majority of their diet. They stalk their prey, and pounce when they are about 30 feet from their quarry. They kill by a lethal bite to the back of the throat, which often dislocates the backbone and severs the spinal cord. Often, a lethal bite is applied to the throat, which cuts off air supply and asphyxiates (suffocates) the animal. Tigers can eat as much as 40 lb (18 kg) of meat in one sitting. Tigers, like other felines, need to eat some grass to provide nutrients and roughage. Tigers will usually avoid humans because they do not provide much meat, and they prefer the taste of wild game. However, if a tiger becomes a maneater, there is usually a reason for it. One reason is that the tiger is very old, to the point where his teeth are worn down, and cannot catch wild game anymore. Humans are much easier to catch and kill, so they prey on humans. Another, more common reason, is the tiger was injured or sick, and can no longer hunt for itself. However, many tigers, like those that live in the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans, seem to have a taste for humans. No one knows why they do this, as these tigers are young and healthy. Some speculate that they are guarding their territory, others think that the salty waters in the marsh they drink makes them irritable. These tigers, however, do not come into human settlements, they only kill humans that have wandered too far into the mangrove forests. People who venture into the forests to gather wood and food wear masks on the backs of their heads since tigers only attack them from behind. Since they started this, the numbers of tiger attacks have been greatly reduced. However, once a tiger becomes a man-eater, it will not cease, and has to be destroyed to protect people.
