Bagan: Planet of 4000 Pagodas!
Click on Pic to enlarge
The result of a Building Frenzy that began in the mid 1100's, following conversion to Theravada Buddhism. This lasted for roughly 200 years under a succession of rulers disposing of a steady and willing supply of skilled "Crafts People".
Covering an area of 25 sq. miles, the sheer scale of the temple ruins is mind blowing and Beautiful! Droool...
Feels like a gigantic abandoned Hollywood film set...CINEMASCOPE...
Perched as I am high on a temple ledge I have the spectacle of Sunset all to myself, aaaaahhh... That is until that fast approaching dust cloud reveals itself to be a Tourist bus packed to the gills!
