Bagan, Myanmar, March 2013

sights along the Ayeyarwady River as we boated to Bagan from Mandalay

We stop to let off a passenger.

the largest of the 4000+ Bagan Temples





temples commissioned by Bagan's kings between the 11th and 12th centuries


goats and their herders roam the area 

an enterprising young vendor greets us with his postcards
cattle herders shelter from the sun



temple detail

pilgrims to the temples pass us on our bicycles


a local woman offers us a cheroot 


village women carry water for great distances across these hot plains
