Burma (Myanmar)

Burma, Land of Pagodas, Gold and Teak. Picture collection of my 2006 trip through this wonderful unspoiled buddhist country with its incredibly friendly people.

Support the Burmese people! Visit Burma, spend your money wisely: on the local people, not on the military junta. This country deserves our support.

Used equipment: Olympus E-300 Digital SLR, Zuiko 11-22, Zuiko 14-45, Zuiko 40-150.

These are excellent pictures. You should also include the beautuful beaches of Ngapali (which I think is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt in the world, comparing with the ones in Thailand, Australia, Dubai,UK, US,to mention a few), Myeik (Mergui), etc.

Wonderful pictures. I visited in 1994 for two weeks - no longer was permitted then. Have you written about your trip?

Wow... zo zie je pas wat de wereld je nog meer te bieden hebt dan alleen dat hollandse kikkerlandje en de europesche playas. Heerlijk om even weg te dromen in die foto's! Complimentjessss

Bram Bos,
excellent pictures. What a beautiful country! I especially like the fact that almost all your photos reflect a very nice and specific colour impression (slight yellow-brownish), which creates a very intense atmosphere when looking at them as awhole collection. Great stuff!
