Shwedagon Paya

In a country full of Buddhist monuments, Shwedagon Paya in Yangon has to be the most impressive of them all.

You can keep abreast of my travels by visiting my website, including my cyber journal from Myanmar here.

Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at Serenity Photography.

I hope all of this beauty is still in tact today. The cyclone,hopefully, has not ruined everything. If ruin is evident then your pictures are priceless. Pictures are very important.

All of these pictures are just beautiful. Your pictures have now fully convinced me that I want to visit the Shwedagon Paya someday.

Great pictures. When did you travelled to Burma? I am from Burma and went back there in 2002 November for a visit -- after almost 14 years of staying abroad. I was really happy to be back home again, but at the same time very sad with what it had become. Cool pics.
