Myanmar eased immigration restrictions in 2011 along with democratic reforms. Since then Myanmar had been a booming tourism destination until it was suddenly shut down by the military coup d'état in 2021.
I visited Myanmar three times in that decade.
I would like to upload selected photos from my second trip that visited Mandalay, Inle Lake and Shan State in 2012. I have uploaded some photos of the second trip sporadically, but the number was far less compared with those of the first and third trips.
Mandalay is the second largest city in Myanmar, and the last capital of the Konbaung dynasty, the last dynasty of Myanmar.
Kuthodaw Paya is one of the most important Buddhist temples in the former royal capital. It is situated at the foot of Mandalay Hill near the royal palace. It was built during the reign of King Mindon (1808-1878) who moved the capital from Amarapura to Mandalay in 1859.
It was modelled after Shwezigon Paya (flic.kr/p/J9LHir) in Bagan; therefore it has a typical design of Buddhist stupa in Myanmar.

With the easing of lockdown, I made my first trip in months to the local moors over the weekend. I had a special encounter with 6 Ring Ouzels and a couple of Wheatears, all happily feeding in short grass on the moorland edge whilst I sat quietly and watched for an hour or so. At one point, all the birds suddenly scattered and moments later, a male Merlin zoomed by, low to the ground, on a failed attack. I took this image as the birds tentatively made their way back to the area they were feeding before being rudely disturbed.
hehe nope... amid all the celebrations i did not forget the sunset ...
my blog's got more fun pics from yesterday's Eid Celebrations...

This scene might be familiar to some of you – it's the GR III version of the "synchronized couple" relaxing on the lawn in front of the main tropical greenhouse at the Botanical Garden in Berlin that I've posted for last Sliders Sunday ("Fun in the Sun", please see the second comment). Well, this one is a little different, it's not the GR version I'd taken from the same position and with the same point of view as the Lensbaby SOL 22 photo which I originally wanted to do either as a monochrome or as a slider for today. But I was never happy with any of the monochrome versions I've processed, because whatever I did, contrasty b&w, soft, sepia... when the colour was gone, all of the sunny lightness and summer ease was gone, too. I've also processed a vintage style colour version of that photo for today, but then stumbled upon this photo with the palm tree and bench (only half of it, but I still think it's a nice element in the image), and I liked that a little better, because it's the same scenery, but a completely different photo, and it also shows a little more of the beautiful ambience of the Botanical Garden. And while this photo actually works well in mono, too, I decided to keep it in colour. Maybe I'm not in "mono mood" right now ;)
DXO PhotoLab processing steps: sharpening and DeepPRIME denoising, a little sliding in ClearView Plus and Smart Lighting, and for the colour rendition (which I usually keep as is) I chose a Leica M10-D simulation, because it added such a nice, creamy-summerly turquoise touch to the blue sky. Next step: Analog Efex for a vintage post card look (Classical Camera preset 7, tweaked), and next.... As far as I recall I also did something in Color Efex (Skylight Filter, most likely), and I also did something in ON1, but since I processed all the different versions of the two GR photos at the same time, I probably got the further processing steps mixed up...
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and take care!
Synchronliegen unter Palmen
Diese Szene kommt einigen von Euch vielleicht bekannt vor, wegen des so schön synchron auf dem Liegerasen des Botanischen Gartens in Berlin relaxenden Pärchens :) Letzten Sonntag habe ich Euch die Lensbaby-SOL-22-Version gezeigt (hier im 2. Kommentar zu sehen). Eigentlich wollte ich ja als GR-III-Version das Foto, das ich aus dem gleichen Blickwinkel gemacht hatte, als SW-Version zeigen. SW funktionierte mit dieser Version aber nicht, denn ohne Farbe fehlt dem Foto jegliche sommerliche Leichtigkeit. Deshalb hatte ich es dann als Farbversion bearbeitet, war aber auch damit nicht 100%ig zufrieden. Zum Glück habe ich dann noch diese Version mit Palme und halber (dem Geradestellen geschuldet) Bank entdeckt, die mir sogar ein wenig besser gefällt, weil man mehr vom Ambiente des Botanischen Gartens sieht und es eben, vom verbindenen Element des Pärchens mal abgesehen, ein gänzlich anderes Foto als die Lensbaby-Version ist.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die als herbstlich angekündigte neue Woche!
This little soldier beetle was just taking a moment to pause in his long climb to the top of the blade
thank you so much for letting me stretch ya El... you're such a patient person and a wonderful friend <3
I stood on top of the hill looking over the lake . As far as the eye could see there were trees, after all this was northern Canada. There was a small town about 10 minutes down the road with a small grocery store and a hardware store. There was also a convenient store and something you might call a restaurant where you could get a burger, sandwich or pizza, but not much else. For any other item even a jacket or summer dress you would need to drive an hour and half to the next town.
Here most of the land was owned by the crown, (Government) and there was only a hand full of cottages all in this one small bay, but none could be seen where I was standing, so it was like I was all alone with nothing near me for miles. There are 73 steps going down to the dock, so going down would be easy, but I knew the trip up would take my breath away literally.
I proceed down on the rickety steps, there all solid, but tilted slightly to one side so I have to hang on to the railing, one misstep and it would be a long tumble down, likely breaking some bones along the way. When I reach the bottom I go to the end of the dock I sit down and close my eyes. It’s only then I realize all the chaos going on in my mind, it’s like a tornado picking up all my thoughts and ideas and slamming them into my skull, to my shock It never occurred to me just how stressed I was.
I sit for a few minutes then my senses kick in first is the sense of touch I could feel the gentle breeze flow over my body like I was swimming in the air. Next comes the sense of sound. I can hear the water lapping against the dock and the shore. I can hear the birds chirping and flying by me, I can also hear the squirrels and chipmunk running around and gathering nuts. Lastly the loons sing out there song, its my favorite bird sound and I find it’s a mournful, but pleasing sound. ( I open my eyes and see the sun shimmering across the water sparkling like diamonds on the waves.
Its early September, the trees have not changed yet, it’s around 1 pm but the sun is lower in the sky, no longer that harsh white light, but a paler yellow, it feels later then it is and fall is just around the corner and soon it will be cold. I sit a little longer with nature all around me my mind eases. It’s time to go join the others and I stare at the 73 steps I need to go up will I be able to go straight up or will I have to catch my breath along the way?
This Anglican chapel was constructed in 1740 by planters on Saint Helena Island as a chapel of ease for parishioners who had difficulty traveling to worship at the main parish church in Beaufort, South Carolina. The ruins were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. ~ Helen Keller.
It's not often that you'll get a chance to see a Skylark down on the ground like this. At first, my friend & I thought it was a Meadow Pipit, as the bird was clearly at ease here & hadn't raised it's crest.
It's true identity was soon revealed, however, when it took flight in that unmistakable Skylark fashion.
Suffolk - May 2017.
As night falls over the high iron, rails illuminate as a pair of shiny Canadian Pacific locomotives ease train 143 into Hamilton, Ontario.
Inspired by some of the incredible photographers who've shared there strobe/speedlight work on here, I decided to foray into this world of night photography as well. Really excited to be trying something new!
There's nothing like a day on the Lakeland Fells to reset the mind I reckon. I booked a last minute day off, and headed out on the promise of a reasonable forecast. That didn't quite pan out, but it didn't matter, as just being surrounded by those wonderful views worked it's magic.
Not a great shot, but a reminder of a fantastic day. Looking back down Sourmilk Gill towards Grasmere.
As soon as the snow eased off, the Barn Owl came out to hunt. It's a tough life for them on the moors.
