MYANMAR, Burma - Ballonfahrt früh morgens über das historische Bagan,
Bagan- auch Arimaddana oder Arimaddanapura, „Stadt Zerbrecher der Feinde“, und Tambadipa, „Kupferland“ oder Tassadessa, „Ausgedörrtes Land“) ist eine historische Königsstadt in Myanmar mit über zweitausend erhaltenen Sakralgebäuden aus Ziegelstein. Der von Tempeln bestandene Bereich erstreckt sich über ca. 36 km² in einer versteppten Landschaft und bildet eine der größten archäologischen Stätten Südostasiens. Bagan liegt in der heutigen Mandalay-Division, 155 km südwestlich der Stadt Mandalay am Ostufer des Irrawaddy, auf halbem Weg zwischen dessen Quelle und der Mündung in den Indischen Ozean und ist heute eines der wichtigsten touristischsten Ziele in Myanmar.
Bagan also Arimaddana or Arimaddanapura, "city breakers of enemies", and Tambadipa, "copper country" or Tassadessa, "parched land") is a historic royal city in Myanmar with over two thousand preserved sacred buildings made of brick. The area made up of temples extends over approx. 36 km² in a stepped landscape and forms one of the largest archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Bagan is located in what is now the Mandalay Division, 155 km southwest of the city of Mandalay on the east bank of the Irrawaddy, halfway between its source and its mouth in the Indian Ocean and is now one of the most important tourist destinations in Myanmar.

A beautiful morning in the Derbyshire peak district with great friend Jon Sargisson this morning, although it seemed we were never quite in the right place at the right time, we did manage to capture some wonderful moody shots at Chatsworth, the mist never let us see the majestic house but it did provide the atmosphere y the river Derwent
Se vuoi vedere le valli, sali in vetta ad una montagna; se vuoi vedere la vetta di una montagna, sali su una nuvola; se invece aspiri a comprendere la nuvola, chiudi gli occhi e pensa (Kahlil Gibran)
Le nuvole in cielo sono come i sogni, vagano nel fondo della nostra mente.
----------------------------
If you want to see the valleys, go up to the top of a mountain; if you want to see the top of a mountain, go up on a cloud; if instead you aspire to understand the cloud, close your eyes and think (Kahlil Gibran)
The clouds in the sky are like dreams, they wander in the depths of our mind.

El famoso puente sobre el Rio Kwai que inspiró una película basada en la 2ª Guerra Mundial se encuentra situado en la Provincia de Kanchanaburi, la tercera más grande de Tailandia dentro de la localidad que recibe el mismo nombre.
Este puente se construyó con el fin de unir Tailandia y Birmania por el paso fronterizo de las Tres Pagodas para el transporte de mercancías y tropas japonesas.
Fue construido por prioneros de guerra ingleses, australianos, asiáticos y neozelandeses. Se construyó con hierro negro de Java, posteriormente se transportó hasta su ubicación actual y vuelto a montar.
Murieron 16.000 prisioneros aliados en su construcción, obligados por su captores japoneses a trabajar en condiciones infrahumanas, al tren que circulaba por sus vias se le dió el nombre de "Tren De La Muerte".
El puente fue finalmente bombardeado por los británicos lo que en parte provocó la rendición de las tropas japonesas. Hoy día el puente está rehabilitado y es una de las mayores atracciones de la ciudad.

I couldn't believe the depth of moss etc., all over the branches of the trees in this valley bottom. Like giant sponge fingers....they can support gardens of ferns too......truly beautiful....Handheld, Zeiss ExoLens, remote, cropped & Snapseed on iPhone.

This waterfall was very popular probably because of its conspicuous location in Southern Iceland (so tour buses don't miss it). That said, this falls also featured some things that made it more than an ordinary tall waterfall; such as the ability to go behind it as well as its close proximity to other nice waterfalls such as the spooky Gljúfurárfoss. 5720
