I really wanted to get a photograph of a pagoda in the Yangon during my trip around South East Asia. The most logical place was the famous Burmese landmark, Shwedagon Pagoda right in the Yangon / Rangoon city centre.

Sadly, it was not only very busy and hard to get a decent angle of, but also completely covered in bamboo scaffolding. Luckily I’d seen this beautiful temple next door. This one is called Maha Wizaya Pagoda and was completely empty at sunrise.

Why not check this out on my new website?
