7D6N Myanmar Discovery Photography Tour (Part 3)

- Start date
Goodness.
I look left and right. I look around and found that everybody has gone to sleep.
Well, the job of a record photographer has been and will always be a lonely one.
In the dead of the night when everyone has sunk deep into slumberland, we are the only one
who are still awake and struggling to continue a story.
But still, a job is a job. Someone has to do it.

Day 6 - Yangon: The Last Night.
Roaming the streets of Yangon at night has given us a chance to look into the heart of this city.
And in its purest form, I believe not one of us could deny that Yangon has retained her distinct charm.
Daoyin placed it beautifully when he said:
We really don't know how Kernik led us walking and walking until we came to a dark, small, relatively narrow and deserted lane.
Well... these are lanes that many a Lonely Planet would strongly advise to avoid at all cost.
But heck, we have a big bunch of huge guys, tall guys, muscular guys... I guess it won't hurt if a fight broke out...

It was later, with the help of my GPS coordinates that I found out that the name of this small lane is actually called 30th Street.
Sounds High Class enough for a brand new property development, as our good friends are exploring...
... imagine, 'The Riviera on 30th Street'... wah, such a romantic name!
limwhow #280
An ambulance came rushing by...
limwhow #281
... and our jaws dropped when we saw that we were at the entrance to a
World Class Diagnostic and Healthcare Centre. Hmmm... maybe our good friend Divinemoment, with his new-found enthusiasm
in diagnostic medicine, may be in high demand here..
limwhow #282
Walking slowly back to our hotel...
limwhow #283
... brought us to the last Photosharing session of the whole trip.
... and with that, the end of another most eventful and tiring day.
But wait.
Melvin never give up. Never.
When the Boss says 6:15am, he means 6:15am.

Daoyin placed it beautifully when he said:
"There is little change in Yangon now compared with 20 years ago.
The only changes that I can see are that people are wearing better quality clothing
... and the vehicles are more modern..."
So there we are. Fortunate are we to have the historical insight of one who has been there and done that 20 years back.The only changes that I can see are that people are wearing better quality clothing
... and the vehicles are more modern..."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, tomorrow early morning we will gather in the lobby at 6:15am
and we will move out at 6:30am to walk to the Sule Pagoda to shoot as the sun rises and casts a golden light onto it..."
So how? No need for negotiation.and we will move out at 6:30am to walk to the Sule Pagoda to shoot as the sun rises and casts a golden light onto it..."

Day 7 - Yangon: Early morning Roam of the City streets...
Remember that morning, I am sure we all did.
A nice, cool morning it was.
And quite a few of us dashed into the just opened restaurant to grab a cup of coffee and some toast before moving out.
limwhow #284
Melvin was right.
The Sule Pagoda was magnificent at dawn.
It was in no way huge like its Shwedagon brother. But its unique location in the centre of a circle was unparalleled.
And zebra crossings led to it from all angles...
limwhow #285
'Twas the first time that I saw such unusual pattern and distribution of zebra crossings.
... to be continued later this evening.
Meanwhile, I am sure many of my fellow shooters have lots of photos of this morning to share...
So come, post!

Day 6.
As the main group proceed to do a street walking tour of Yangon, Apical Summerling and myself went ahead to finish up their unfinished shwedagon pagoda shot.
With a clear night, there were a lot of devotee walking around and making offerings and prayers. i have managed to capture on of the devotee making her offering amidst the candlelights.
That night was a really clear sky and we are able to view the moon hovering above the main pagoda. Below is the photograph taken on that night.
Note: Moon has been digitally enhanced .
