Summer paddocks.

No ride today. Instead I got some foot slogging done through the paddocks. Straw yellow grass and blue skies.

Citywalks in Mandalay

Like in the large old temple cities like Bagan, the temples and pagodas are everywhere.

The feeling that these structures sometimes just are there, in the middle of rice fields or grass paddocks. Equal to rice and other farm products, religion is as important for people here. These buildings can mark holy sites, graves, or a memorial structure build to celebrate or in honor of an event or person.

These buildings on a line was just outside one of the small villages outside Mandalay CBD, along this rice field.

These days all thoughts of this beautiful country goes in hope for the survivors of the earthquake, a successful reconstruction and a peaceful end to the wars and a return to peace and human rights in Burma-Myanmar.

And finally, the rivers and pastures of Europe! So different to Australia, and certainly very different to the Arab gulf region!
