Burmese People


Hi and welcome. Hope you enjoy these photos of Burmese people, children and a few of the photographer at work
I seem to be a little heavier than the twigs!
I'm going to be a hot air balloon pilot when I grow up!
We so love our photo being taken
Who's looking at the photo, and who at the photographer? This photo was taken by Daniela, my wife
A fashion statement. Love the tie
This chap really wanted his photo taken. Thanks to my dear friend John who took this picture.........
......And here he is!
Smoking, the Burmese way
and proud of it!
Friendly, happy young lady we met one evening by the river Ayer Yarwaddy in Bagan
Big monks and little monks
A fine silhouette
Daniela with a young girl who was selling artifacts outside the temple
Very proud of her home. When she isn't making some money she studies at university
This man was a delight. He showed me all the best places to take photographs of the temple where he works and clearly delighted in my pleasure at the beauty of it. I love this photo
Isn't she lovely?
Young'uns showing me how it's done
This was supposed to be a photo of Daniela, but then.......
Beautiful face
I'm having fun!
I wish I knew what that finger meant
They start young!
A bit older, climbing the temple to see the sunset
Ancient temples are great playgrounds
Time to go home after a hard morning at the market
Oh, go on, give us a lick! Daniela catching me trying to steal ice cream from a child.....
Me, doing what I love

Colourful markets and local life around Inle Lake, Burma

Early morning going to market. Come with me to meet the people and see the markets
A sweet welcome from this little one. I love his hand gesture
Market day is a happy day!
All set up and waiting for customers
Love the smiles and the head gear!
Still amongst the crowds
Smoking the famous Burmese cheroots
A penny for your thoughts and your feelings
Splash of colour
Making a purchase. Lots of fish from the lake
Ahhhhh! Chilli padi heaven
Better than a Tesco's bag
Classic rural scene
Happy for me to take the photo, but no smiling!
No need to hoover the floor afterwards
Smiles!
A great bargainer.....I lost! That's my money she's holding..
Watching the world go by
More fish!
Spot our boat driver
Who needs Guy Laroche. Fabulous fashion right here
We didn't see many mopeds
Love this lady
Life on the river
Doing it the traditional way
Those bricks don't look very stable!
Big sis looking after little bruv
Playing is thirsty work
The little boy is having fun
Great bridge
Finished bathing and washing
Heavy loads
Time to go. Sad to leave this lovely place. Next time the magical and enchanting Bagan
