EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the serene beauty of Kyaukh-pyugyi Paya, a sacred temple located in the enchanting Inle Lake region of Myanmar. As women gracefully stroll past a magnificent sitting Buddha statue, believed to be an astonishing 700 years old, one cannot help but feel humbled by its ancient presence. The colossal Buddha figure dominates the landscape and exudes an aura of tranquility that is reflected in the calm waters of the adjacent lake. The mirrored image creates a mesmerizing visual effect, as if there were two Buddhas peacefully coexisting – one tangible and one ethereal. Surrounded by lush greenery and nestled next to Nanthe village inhabited by the Intha people, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to both human devotion and nature's harmonious embrace. Its weathered exterior tells tales of centuries gone by while inspiring reverence for Buddhist traditions. Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this moment in time with her lens, inviting us on a virtual journey through space and spirituality. Through her photography, she transports us to distant lands where culture intertwines with nature seamlessly. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a reminder that travel can be transformative – allowing us to witness extraordinary sights like Kyaukh-pyugyi Paya and experience profound connections with different cultures. It beckons us to explore Asia's rich tapestry of history and spirituality while immersing ourselves in its vibrant landscapes.
