Photographer’s Note

Sagaing is located on the western bank of the Ayeyarwaddy or Irrawaddy river, occupying a scenic and picturesque area. It is profusely dotted with manifold Buddhist monasteries, institutions and nunneries and is a refuge for Buddhist devotees. It was founded in 1315 by Athinkhaya Sawyun, after the fall of Bagan.

This was taken in one of the many hill top temples overlooking the river.
