Myanmar, traveller, home

At the age of technology, way of travel changes, although the new not necessarily replaced the old, at least not all of them.

Shwedagon Pagoda is my first visit on this trip, considered a must visit in Myanmar, built in the period of King Okkalapa, and a design to last forever.

Here you will find all different kinds of people; local that came to worship, or as tour guides, or simply to be here. Tourists who were told that this is not to miss, some determined to come, some have to go somewhere and the photographers busy making their art, some better than the other, some care more than others.  And of course all the monks and nuns.

For all the non-locals, the thing in common is that they are all far away from their home, and typically to create a link between where they are (were) and home is usually journal – the old fashion and perhaps still better option, 
and the new fashion – digital images, often by hundreds.  I am among them. The gentleman in the picture is kind enough to allow me to shoot behind him for the benefit of this image.
