The Karaweik Royal Barge is golden, floating palace moored on the eastern shore of Rangoon’s Lake Kandawgyi. It was constructed forty five years ago as a replica of a Burmese king’s royal barge. Today it serves as restaurant. I photographed it late in the afternoon, just as the sun was about to set. The reds, golds, and greens of the structure seem to work perfectly with the green water below and the dark blue rain clouds in the sky above it.
