The Ku Tho Daw Pagoda, Mandalay

One of the most unique Pagodas that you see anywhere in the world.
The result of a human attempt to propagate religion in the manner he felt would do for humanity.
The entire Buddhist Ahbidamma written into stone, and each stone with its own pagoda.
Best to visit at sunrise or at sunset.
Sit awhile and let your imagination roam free.
Enjoy the serenity.

The Maha Wisara

Took this picture in the late morning. About 10:00am.
I desatuarated the picture to see if I could change the impact of it.
To center focus more onto the bell of the pagoda.

The Shwedagon

The Shwedagon Pagoda
The Shwedagon Pagoda is a part of my life.
I live in a mere 15 minutes away, and visit it on every trip to Myanmar, to Yangon .
2500 years old as legend has it.
And a joy to visit for everyone of every faith.

The Shwedagon Pagoda is the pagoda that constitute very first post in this blog. No other pagoda would do!
I will be posting images of various pagodas from Myanmar and around the world. This blog is not intended to to give and exhaustive overview of each pagoda. Just the briefest sentiment of the time, a poor attempt to record a journey of one person's experience.
