Greeting everyone ,

How are you ? I hope you have a great day today that better than yesterday.

The first photo is my entry for Deranged Photography Contest with this week theme , "HIT ME WITH YOU BEST SHOT" hosted by @derangedvisions

CONTEST DETAIL IN THIS LINK

I think this week contest quite challenging . The theme of ,"HIT ME WITH YOU BEST SHOT" make me think which photo should i submit that consider the best shot that i have. It's take me days to think and i keep on thinking , processing and considering 1 photo from thousand shot that i have even when i laying down before sleep.

After considering , i decide to submit the photo that i take at Hsinbyume Pagoda in Mandalay . According to history LINK HERE , the temple was build in 1816 by Bagydaw prince , the heir of King Bodawpaya to show his love for his first wife , Queen Hsunbyume that unfortunately lost her life during childbirth . The temple also known as Mye Thein Tan Pagoda because they used 100,000 (Thein Tan) of Mye (emerald) to fund that temple. Just imagine how expensive the temple consider the emerald now a day price can reach to USD 100,000 depends on it value in carat . The design itself represent Mount Meru , which according to Hindu and Buddhist mythology is the center of the universe Source link

WHY DID I CHOOSE THOSE PICTURE

Among the picture that i take ,his photo is special for me because this is my starting point before i decide to continue my ASEAN solo travel . At first i just think that i ll come back to my hometown after the first trip in Myanmar, but end up i only back to hometown for good after almost 3 years of travelling around ASEAN. Along the way , i meet more people, talk with language that i never understand until now and learn the historical story about their life , what they believe , become part of their family and culture .

STORY BEHIND THE PICTURE

While we live happily in modern world , where we get almost what we want , there were some part in this world (many) that still fighting their life just to get some food.
When we got the internet , some place just have their bible to learn about the world .
When some kid have they personal iphone or playstation , some kid still play with their cap for their entertainment.

But , even we got almost everything most of us still dont satisfy on what they have and continue that never ending race.
At some point of life , the important thing is to being thankful for what we have and own because to get enough food and clothes to wear is much better than the other people that dont have anything.

Those a some series of photo that i take during my visit there . I hope you enjoy your virtual journey at Mandalay , Myanmar .
