Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda. Inle Lake.

This pagoda is the most sacred site of all south Shan's state. People come from all around to worship five antique statues inside. These statues are so covered with gold leaves by the pilgrims that they became formless.

Cette pagode située sur le lac Inlé constitue le lieu le plus sacré de tout le sud de l'état Shan. Les croyants viennent de loin pour prier les cinq statues contenues à l'intérieur. Celles-ci sont si couvertes de feuilles d'or par les fidèles qu'elles sont devenues informes.

Beautiful light and color, and excellent clarity. The pagoda itself is simply stunning, and you've done a great job of capturing it. V.
