The evening cattle drive makes an appropriate foreground for sunset shots of Bagan's temples. Our tour guide knew this, and took me to places where I could get both cattle and temples into the same image. In this shot, made from the back of an ox-cart, I was able to photograph the woman driving the herd, with Thatbyinnyu Temple, the tallest in Bagan, as the backdrop. Shooting from this vantage point, the viewer becomes part of flow of action and that temple becomes part of the context for the image. This angle also abstracts the image, as does the back lighting and the cloud of dust that has settled over the scene. The focal point of the image is the worker herself, who is about to whack the end of the cow just in front of her with a stick. For this cattle driver, it is just another evening of work. For the viewer, however, it is a rare chance to vicariously experience a slice of Burmese life.
