Morning at the temples of Bagan

With a private driver and guide we headed out to see as much as possible in a day in the rain.
1. Shwezigone pagoda - A stunning gold temple complex right in the middle of the new city. Our guide taught us a great photo trick, originally used by the architects during building.
2. Nagayon temple - Still retains much of the original painted decoration inside. Amazingly you can still get up and close.
3. Ananda Temple - The Buddha statue smiles differently depending how close you are standing, if you're on the closest path (monks) = small smile, middle path (royals) = mid smile, furthest path (public) = big smile. A very clever architectural trick of the light.Okumaya devam et
