Rund um die Pagoden-Anlage
Die Kuthodaw-Pagode (Pagode der Königlichen Verdienste) ist eine 1868 fertiggestellte Anlage in der myanmarischen Stadt Mandalay. Sie besteht aus 729 Stupas in Form pavillonartiger Tempel, in denen je eine weiße Marmorplatte mit birmanischer Schrift steht.
Auf den Marmorplatten ist der Pali-Kanon niedergelegt, das Leben und die Lehren Buddhas. Die ursprünglich vergoldeten Lettern sind heute nur noch schwarz eingefärbt. Die Pagode wird wegen dieser umfangreichen Darstellung auch als „Das größte Buch der Welt“ bezeichnet. Vor der Erschaffung dieser Anlage waren die Texte vorwiegend auf Palmblättern oder Holz niedergeschrieben. Die Inschriften wurden von der UNESCO in die Liste des Weltdokumentenerbes aufgenommen.
In der Mitte der Anlage befindet sich außerdem die vergoldete Maha Lawka Marazein-Pagode, die bereits 1857 nach den Plänen der Shwezigon-Pagode erbaut wurde.
MYANMAR,burma - Mandalay , around the Kuthodaw Pagoda.
The Kuthodaw Pagoda (Pagoda of Royal Merit) is a complex completed in 1868 in the Myanmar city of Mandalay. It consists of 729 stupas in the form of pavilion-like temples, each containing a white marble slab with Burmese script.
The Pali Canon, the life and teachings of Buddha, is inscribed on the marble slabs. The original gilded letters are now only colored black. The pagoda is also called "The largest book in the world" because of this extensive representation. Before the creation of this complex, the texts were mainly written down on palm leaves or wood. The inscriptions have been included by UNESCO in the list of World Documentary Heritage.
In the center of the complex there is also the gilded Maha Lawka Marazein Pagoda, which was built as early as 1857 according to the plans of the Shwezigon Pagoda.
Marble Hill House is a Neo-Palladian villa, now Grade I listed, in Twickenham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It was built between 1724 and 1729 as the home of Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk, who lived there until her death.

My daughter and her boyfriend joined us on this day in the trip there in northern Arizona. They arrived just before sunset ... so was a lot fun getting them out in the dark around these cool rock formations in the dark and taking the captures. Had fun with some light painting as well.
