Sunrise on the Irrawaddy River, Myanmar.


Sunrise on the Irryawadi River in Bagan, Myanmar

Back in 2004 during our South East Asia trip we visited the country of Myanmar. It was one of the hardest countries that we traveled on during this trip but the images were well worth the difficulties.  It was still dark when we boarded our boat to sail down the Irrawaddy river from Mandalay to Bagan.   As we pulled away from the dock the sun began to rise bathing the river in a magical deep orange glow.

The river was coming to life and as we passed this fisherman rowing back from a nights work. This offered a magical moment where light and shadow come together to put together a wonderful image.

  4. Simply stunning. Andy is right – it’s those views that take your breath away, or grab your insides, that make all the challenges of traveling worth overcoming. The rest of us can be impressed with just looking at your photos, but since we know a photo can’t capture everything, the memories of those places that you have must be absolutely amazing.

  6. How beautiful! I recently read a history of the country which I knew little about. It seems like a magical place if you can make the effort.
