The Crumbling Ochre Temples of Bagan, Burma
Exploring the temples of Burma’s Bagan.
Featured photography from my RTW adventures.
Of all the pilgrimage sites in Burma, the Golden Rock or Kyaiktiyo in Mon State was at the top of my ‘to do’ list, second only to the majesty of Shwedagon pagoda in Yangon. Once there, I met a huge group of colourful nuns from Mawlamyine who had come to pay their respects.
I have seen a slew of stunning sunsets during my trip, but none as achingly beautiful and consistently colourful as those from my 2.5 weeks on the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia.
Finally, after 3 days of torrential rains, howling wind and general misery, the sun peeked through the clouds to cast a golden sheen across the Bacuit Bay.
