Myanmar - Balloons over Bagan

Just imagine the view from there...

Bagan, more popularly known as the city of four million pagodas and temples, the Birth Place of Therabardha buddhism is located on the eastern bank of Majestic Ayeyawaddy River. It is only a forty two square kilometers land which is confined by over 2500 Pagodas and temples. In former days as well as now, the pilgrims are allowed to climb on the top vestibules or terrace from where view the mystical panorama of Bagan. Some of the biggest pagodas were closed for climbing, but there is still sufficient number of them to enjoy the view from.

Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL, f/9, 0.003 sec (1/320), ISO 100, 106 mm
