The Tharaba Gate marks the eastern entrance to the old city of Bagan. This and the small section of brick wall on either side are all that remain of the ninth-century rampart. Each side of the gate contains a niche housing Bagan's guardian nats,' Mister Handsome' and his sister 'Golden Face', known collectively as ' Lords of the High Mountain'. This monument is one of the oldest monuments in Bagan, assumed to have existed before Anawrahta took the throne.

View of Bagan from another shrine of the vast site. Bagan is an ancient city located in the Mandalay Region of Burma. From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains. Over 2200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day.

Mt Popa is a volcano 1518 metres above sea level, and located in central Burma (Myanmar) about 50 km southeast of Bagan (Pagan) in the Pegu Range. It can be seen from the Irrawaddy River as far away as 60 km in clear weather. Mount Popa is perhaps best known as a pilgrimage site, with numerous Nat temples and relic sites atop the mountain. Southwest of Mount Popa is Taung Kalat (pedestal hill), sheer-sided volcanic plug. A Buddhist monastery is located at the summit of Taung Kalat. Often the Taung Kalat pedestal hill is sometimes itself called Mount Popa and given that Mount Popa is the name of the actual volcano that caused the creation of the volcanic plug, to avoid confusion, the volcano (with its crater blown open on one side) is g...

Bagan, located on the banks of the Irrawaddy River, is home to the largest and densest concentration of Buddhist temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins in the world with many dating from the 11th and 12th centuries. Bagan became a central powerbase in the mid 9th century under King Anawratha, who unified Burma under Theravada Buddhism. It is estimated that as many as 13,000 temples and stupas once stood on this 42 sq km plain in central Burma. Approximately 2,000 remain today, in various states of disrepair. Some are large and well maintained, such as the Ananda Pahto, others are small tumbledown relics in the middle of overgrown grass. Despite the majesty and importance of Bagan, UNESCO did not include it on its World Heritage Site, beca...

A Miko (Shrine Maiden) on at Niko Tosho Gu in Japan. She looks back just as I take this shot. Her beautiful red and white robes stand out brilliantly against the damp grey and mossy greens of the mountain shrine.

Taken on a visit to Lumbini where Buddha was supposed to have been born. Didn't think much of the site especially with all the security, or the vast empty parkland around.

I painted an image of a shrine maiden performing a dance. I processed an image of the local mountains for the background, hoping to create a mysterious blue ambiance.

On the eastern bank of the Yamuna River, the mausoleum is set in a large garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways. The walls are made up from white marble from Rajasthan encrusted with semi-precious stone decorations – cornelian, jasper, lapis lazuli, onyx, and topaz formed into images of cypress trees and wine bottles, or more elaborate decorations like cut fruit or vases containing bouquets. Light penetrates to the interior through delicate jālī screens of intricately carved white marble. The interior decoration is considered by many to have inspired that of the Taj Mahal. Many of Nūr Jahān's relatives are interred in the mausoleum. This is often called The Baby Taj.
