A selection of Peter’s Burma photographs.
Many thanks to Peter for allowing us to share a selection of his superb Burma photographs taken on a 2012 Burma tour. In no particular order then with all photos taken by Peter Tilsley and additional comments from All Points East…………
First up an atmospheric dusk shot of the highly picturesque and photogenic U Bein Bridge near Mandalay.
Sunset at U Bein Bridge near Mandalay Bagan dawn – another of Burma’s numerous spectacular moments.
Dawn at Bagan And a couple of local girls displaying their thanaka designs, (a paste made from mixing water with ground tree bark) – popular in Burma for its cosmetic, cooling and insect repelling properties.
Girls with thanaka paste Monk studying at a temple at Inva (we think?)
Study time for a Burmese monk Another awesome view of Bagan though this time a daylight panoramic view.
Bagan looking east Palaung grandmother taken on a hike in the Shan Hills near Kalaw.
Palaung woman near Kalaw An iconic shot of the famous ‘one-legged’ rowing fishermen of Inle Lake – don’t try this at home!
Fishermen of Lake Inle And a stunning dawn shot of one particularly acrobatic fisherman on the Lake.
Early morning on the Lake The last of Peter’s Burma photographs is what appears to be a precariously perched woman and baby on a very thin-looking dugout canoe on the lake. considering the lake-dwellers spend half their lives on water it certainly isn’t as risky as it looks but probably another one not to try at home!
Woman and child, Lake Inle (All photos were taken on the All Points East, Discover Burma ‘…quite like any land you know about’ tour.) Thanks again for the great photos Peter and lookout for a selection of his Cambodia images coming up soon on the blog. Cheers!
