Description

La Birmanie a des milliers- literallement- de monastères. En certes régions, comme autour du Lac Inlé, il y a un a chaque paté de maisons. Pourquoi celui là serait le plus beau ? Parce que. Je suis tombée amoureuse à première vue. Pour les birmanais, il est tellement banal que le chauffeur est passé devant sans même s´arreter. J´ai crié et le fait revenir. J´étais émerveillée et je m´arrachais le cheveaux parce que il était complètement en contre-jour, le soleil en plein derrière. Impossible de faire une photo et je partais. Le chaffeur ne comprennais pas. « Je vous montre 200 cents monastères sur la route où on l´on va ! Pourquoi justement celui là ?» Ce monastère a plus de 200 ans, est entièrement en bois de teck, avec ces merveilleuses fenetres ovales où les moines- surtout les petis, se prelassent regardant dehors. Absolument magique. Je suis retournée après, plusieurs fois, j´ai fini par manger avec les moines, assister aux classes des petits, me promener partout. Ce n´est pas trés normal pour une femme, mais en Birmanie, avec un beau sourrire et beaucoup de respect on interprete diffèrement la tradition. Cette vielle batisse en teck sent le bois, fait du bruit de bois quand on marche, elle respire le teck. Surtout, elle est vivante... J´ESSAYE DE FAIRE DES PROGRES EN PHOTOSHOP ET JE SUIS JUSTE ARRIVEE A COLORER LE CIEL, QU´ÉTAIT BLANC. QUAND J´AI ESSAYÉ DE METTRE DE NUAGES, ELLES SONT DEVENUES VERTES ET PAS MOYEN DE CHANGER. Burma has literally- thousands of monasteries. In certainly areas, as around the Inle Lake there is one in each corner. Why would that there be most beautiful? Because. I fell in love at first sight. For Burmese people, it is so banal that the driver passed in front without stop. I shouted and I make returning. I was breathless with this wonderful and desesperated because it was completely in back-light, the sun full behind. Impossible to make a photo and I left the region. The driver don’t understand. “I show you 200 hundred monasterys on the road where we go. Why this one? ” This monastery has more than 200 years, is entirely made in teak wood, with these marvellous oval windows where the monks specially the kids, spend the time looking at outside. Absolutely magic. I am returned many times after, I eating with monks, see the classes of small, walk everywhere. This is not normal for a woman in a monastery, but in Burma, with a beautiful smile and much respect, the traditions can be interpreted differentily. This ol building enterily in teck , smell wood, make noise of wood when one walks, it breathes teak. I TRY TO MAKE PROGRESS IN PHOTOSHOP AND I AM ARRIVAL TO COLOURED THE SKY, WHO IS WHITE . WHEN I TRIED TO PUT CLOUDS, THEY BECAME GREEN AND NOT WAY OF CHANGING.

This is a gorgeous shot. I love it, as I love all of the shots in your gallery. You wrote a lot about the scene and that adds a lot to it, but also the picture is good enough to stand on its own. I love the color contrasts and the way you captured the red tones. Fabulous! Great work!

Je comprends que tu sois tombée amoureuse de ce monastère, il est si atypique et je veux bien croire qu'il soit 'vivant'. C'est encore et toujours un voyage plein de découvertes que tu nous fais partager, Rosely, et tant pis pour Photoshop, l'essentiel n'est pas là !!!

Very unusal Temple and on stilts to help save them from flooding, a lot of traditional houses here in Australia are built on stilts too, but it is mainly for helping cool down the house. Wonderful capture Rosely ! ~Cheers~ :o)

Hiciste bien en retroceder con el chofer. La primera impresion es la que vale, y esta fotografia tiene el encanto de naturalidad imprevista. MUY BUENA
