Even though it is no longer the nation's official capital, Yangon – formerly Rangoon – remains Myanmar's largest and most commercially important city. Yangon is the country's largest city with a population of nearly six million. This city is a melting pot—a diversity of cultures and communities in terms of people, settlement and religions. The Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the most famous pagodas in the world and it is certainly the main attraction of Yangon. Locally known as Shwedagon Zedi Daw The, it sits atop of a hill and is 99 meters high. It can be seen from most places of Yangon day and night as the golden roof illuminates the city. According to some, the pagoda is 2,600 years old, making Shwedagon the oldest pagoda in the world. However, no official documents attesting its construction exist and its age is still a matter of debate. Shwedagon PagodaThe main gold-plated dome is topped by a stupa containing over 7,000 diamonds, rubies, topaz and sapphires, the whole giddy concoction offset by a massive emerald positioned to reflect the last rays of the setting sun. There is little wonder that the Shwedagon is referred to in Myanmar as The crown of Burma. As Myanmar's most revered shrine it has always been customary for families, mendicants and followers of the Buddha to make the pilgrimage to the Shwedagon.
The Shwedagon Pagoda officially named Shwedagon Zedi Daw and also known as the Great Dagon Pagoda and the Golden Pagoda. No visit to Myanmar is complete without a visit to the 2,600 years old Shwedagon Pagoda, which enshrines strands of Buddha's hair and other holy relics. Located west of the Royal Lake on 114 -acre Singuttara Hill in Yangon, Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred and impressive Buddhist site for the people of Myanmar.
Yangon is de voormalig hoofdstad van Myanmar. Het is voor de meeste reizigers het startpunt van hun rondreis door Myanmar voor ons het eindpunt. Voor de grootste stad van het land komt Yangon relatief relaxed over. De sfeer is er gemoedelijk en het verkeer is nog lang niet zo jachtig als in de buurlanden Thailand en India. De stad grenst in het westen en zuiden aan de Yangon rivier. De stad is behoorlijk uitgestrekt. Gelukkig heb je voor een paar duizend Kyats, de munteenheid van Myanmar, een taxi of fietstaxi te pakken.
Vanuit het centrum van Yangon nemen we een taxi naar de tempel van Shwedagon Pagoda. De tempel ligt aan de Shwedagon Pagoda Road in het Dagon Township en de weg er naartoe is al indrukwekkend. De 2.600 jaar oude gouden pagode schijnt vanaf een heuvel over de stad en is moeilijk te missen. De Shwedagon Pagoda is de grootste tempel in Myanmar en is bedekt met 50.000 kilo bladgoud en vele duizenden kostbare edelstenen. De kegelvormige pagoda is 99 meter hoog en bevindt zich op de heuvel Singuttara in een buitenwijk van Yangon. Een bezoek brengen aan de indrukwekkende bouwwerk is de moeite zeker waard. Dag en nacht is het er levendig met gezang en gebeden van boeddhistische monniken en gelovigen. Rond de tempel vind je allerlei spirituele shopjes, astrologen, handlezers en Boeddhabeelden. Stupa's zijn oorspronkelijk grafmonumenten en wordt er de as van gecremeerde heiligen bewaard. Gedurende de ontwikkeling van het boeddhisme heeft de stupa in de verschillende gebieden ook diverse vormen gekregen maar volgens dezelfde basisregels gebouwd en is een afspiegeling van het universum. De vierkante basis staat voor de aarde, de feitelijke stupa voor het element water, de spits met dertien schijven voor het vuur, het zon/maan- symbool voor de lucht, terwijl het kleine vlammetje erboven vlammetje erboven voor ether, de bovenlucht staat, de hoogste verlichting. Deze vijf elementen zijn tegelijkertijd symbolisch voor de vijf zintuigen, de vijf onderdelen van het lichaam van boeddha, kortom, het universum

I thought the title rather clever, however, I would be interested if anyone out there found it disrespectful toward the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah

There are no winners in war, everyone killed is someone's loved-one !!!!!!!
My tribute to those that lost their lives, no matter what side.......
Two merged images. One from Lacock at war, the other, poppies on crosses laid at a war memorial.
As seen during the March for Science in New York City, Earth Day, 22 April 2017. These are the two gals that walked around holding up the giant Styrofoam puppets, alerting people about the issues associated with Styrofoam packaging.

This is what the Devil's Fingers Fungus (Clathrus archeri) looks like before it 'hatches' from its 'egg' - the resemblance to the folds of a human cerebrum is very spooky indeed : )

Happy Caturday 🤔
“I have always thought of Christmastime when it has come round...as a good time"🎄🐾
But, Christmas can have all things, both good and bad, mixed in; it is not exempt from the rest of the days of the year.
The loss of a dear pet, our church cat, Karson, on December 23rd, a day before Christmas Eve, was quite sad, still today and for some time to come for sure. Then Christmas Night was yet another challenge: I may share it later with you.
It all depends on how we look at the situation. I try always to keep positive, although sometimes it's not so easy.
I look at Maggie looking out the window, alone, with no Christmas tree, somewhat a little sad, watching for Karson to come home, or is she just looking at the birds feeding at the feeder. Bat looking at me, thinking? Me thinking? We all have a different view from where we stand or sit.

p.s.Sorry messed up. Forgot about the headshots.
This is my current reading! As a matter of fact, I've almost finished it. It's a delightful little book on the basic and necessary elements for landscape photography. Author Michael Frye, an excellent landscape photographer himself, makes, all the time, interesting and instructive comparisons to the methods and ideas of great masters like Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter and Edward Weston, including the well-known Zone System. A real bargain for what it actually delivers.
