The photos provide glimpses of our travels around Myanmar (Burma). The areas covered here roughly in date order are:

* Mandalay

* Kachin State and Myitkyina

* Mandalay, outskirts of Mangin, Inwa and U Bein bridge

* Bagan and balloon ride

* Inle Lake

* Yangon (Rangoon) and the Shwedagon Pagoda

* Golden Rock Pagoda

* Mon State and Moulmein

* Karen State

The photos also reflect my three themes of heritage, political change and the Second World War in Burma.
