  1. Myanmar Boys Will Be Boys

    Coming around the corner of a temple outside Bagan, Myanmar (Burma), I surprised two boys. When I showed an interest in what one had put behind his back he proudly put his toy gun on display.

  2. Gawdawpalin Pahto

    One of Bagan's largest and most imposing temples. It was completed in the 13th century and its name means "Throne from which Homage is Paid".

  3. Dry season in Bagan

    This scene will be lush green during the high season (November to February) when it is cooler and not as dry. The low season (March to May) is deathly hot (40C +) and you will be dripping in sweat, even at night, but it is also blissfully empty.

  4. Sunset over Bagan

    Find your own private temple to watch the sun dip down behind the mountain backed Irrawwady river.

  5. Typical roadside sight in Bagan

    Traveling slowly by horse cart you will get to experience the sights and sounds of Burmese daily life.

  6. Eco and economically friendly

    There is no better way to traverse the Bagan plain than by horse cart. It allows you to hop between temples without the constant turn of the ignition and in the heat of a Burman dry season, you can be happy that the only thing you are contributing to is the local economy and not global warming.

  7. Beating the sun.

    Every night in Bagan the slow pace of the day is broken by a mad rush to secure the best viewing spot to watch the sun set. A race to your location of choice however just means that the clop of your horse's hooves are all the more rhythmical.

  8. Temples as far as the eye can see

    No other place on Earth has such a concentration of religious shrines.
