Myanmar 2-22, a photo from Shan, North

Photographer's Note

In Bagan Pagodas(Payas) are relatively well maintained.
But around Inle lake Pagodas conditions are not so good. I was surprised to see this Pagoda, that are collapsed by a big tree, that penetrae the conter of the Pagoda. In another sense we should perceive the power of the nature but 10 or 20 years later this Pagoda will be destroyed by this vital tree's growth. I rememer the same secne in Angkor regacy in Cambodia.

Hello Takero,

I like this photo as it makes the strangler fig look like it has a brick trunk. Alternatively, it's a super-sized umbrella.

Nice sharpness throughout.

Tfs,
Mark

Hello Takero,
That's a mighty tree indeed. The suggestion that it is made out of stones is great.
Thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Hello Takero,
This is an amazing photo, or rather an amazing tree. Not even in Angkor have I seen anything quite like this. It's sad to see an old stupa being destroyed, but we have to admire the forces of nature. The low angle from so close gives us the strongest sense of this dynamic power.
Best regards,
Gert

Pak Takero YTH
Amazing, I really love the drama there and the detail you have captured. It's a matter of time that power mother nature will completely expunge this old stupa. This shot gives us some idea of scale and perspective that really catches the eye, Excellent shot.
Best regards
