EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Karaweik Royal Barge, gracefully floating on the eastern shore of Kandawgyi Lake in Yangon. The lake itself holds a fascinating history, as it was originally constructed by the British as a reservoir but has now become a popular recreational spot for locals and tourists alike. The Karaweik barge, although not an authentic relic from the past, is nonetheless an impressive sight to behold. Constructed from concrete in 1974, this modern interpretation is based on the genuine Pyi Gyi Mon Royal Barge. Its golden roofs shimmer under the cloudless blue sky while its dragon wings symbolize protection and nationalism. Surrounded by lush greenery with overhanging trees and vibrant pink flowers reflecting upon its surface, this artificial structure blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings. The juxtaposition of historic elements like pagoda spires and stupas against the contemporary design creates a unique visual contrast that adds to its allure. As visitors admire this tourist attraction, they can't help but be captivated by both its beauty and historical significance. This photograph perfectly captures the essence of Kandawgyi Lake's charm - a serene oasis where pastiche meets modernity amidst stunning scenery.
