The 2015 Jim Cline Photo Tours Amazing Myanmar Tour continued with our photographic explorations around Mandalay city, Mingun , Amarapura and Pyin Oo Lwin. As most travelers to Mandalay do, we visited U Bein Bridge. U Bein bridge, undoubtedly Myanmar’s most famous bridge, spans the Taungthaman Lake near Amarapura. The 1.2-kilometre bridge was built around 1850 and is believed to be the oldest and longest teakwood bridge in the world. We also photographed Myatheindan Pagoda, the famous white-washed pagoda in Mingun. Then finally, as our last excursion from Mandalay, we made a day trip to Pyin Oo Lwin, a British Hill Station, formerly known as Maymyo, which is located in the Shan Highland, some 67 kilometers east of Mandalay, (at an altitude of 1,070 meters). Maymyo is the flower capitol of the region, supplying many different varieties of flowers which are shipped throughout the country. Just 22 images to share here….

Will never tire of the “green table” still lifes. Lighting, texture, color, fun. The portrait of the man on the motorcycle at the flower market is lovely. Also love the truck driving by the flower market. THanks for sharing!!
Stunning work here, Karl. The white and red color composition with the boys is fantastic.
