Default U Bein for Pierre-Olivier

Pierre-Olivier has graced us with a number of gorgeous photos of U Bein Bridge, in Myanmar, just outside of Mandalay. This is the longest wooden bridge (750 meters) in the world, exceptionally scenic, and well located for dramatic sunset photos. Here are two more views of it.

Like all of the beautiful pictures of this bridge at sunset in Burma showed by Pierre Olivier,i greatly appreciated yours .
So we can see now how a bridge is long and how people lives in this wonderful country
i think it's better they must walk during a day but at night it will be difficult to find the way!
Thanks for showing us Stuart

Default AW: U Bein for Pierre-Olivier

Hello Stuart,

thank you for this nice endorsement of Pierre-Olivier's series. It must be tricky if two people pushing a bicycle would like to pass each other...

Thank you Stuart ! Your excellent shots will contribute to the discovery of this beautiful country which is unfortunately not very well known by the majority of people.

Stuart,
very good shots of the U-Bein bridge, you caught the atmosphere on site very good. It is one of my nicest memories of travelling, the time in Burma general and also in Mandalay.
It is good to see this series of Olivers and yours here, to bring back memories and not to forget the political burden of the people.

Thanks for sharing to both of you,
regards,
Andreas

Thank you. The people have had to suffer two decades of the corrupt miliary junta.

Beautiful sunset Stuart. Looks like the place to be for a quiet meditation or stroll over a bridge at sunset. The day shot also gives us a glimpse into daily life. Thanks for sharing these wonderful images.
