On the way to Kyaikto via Bago (Pegu) on April 19.
I was there on April 17, 2008 and visited Yangon, Bago(Pegu), Kyaiktiyo, Helo, Nyanugshwe, Inle lake, Indein, Pindaya and left Myanmar on April 27. Only few days later, the cyclone devastated the southern parts of Myanmar.
Right after hearing the news, I had been trying to contact my friends in Yangon by phone and 6 days after cyclone, I could phone one of them.
All friends and their families are in safe but heard that their houses were flooded and completely demolished by the cyclone.
I heard this area was completely flooded by the cyclon. I wish the cropped grains are kept is a safe place.
I am filled with heartrending sorrow for the diaster in Myanmar.
Jeung, what a poignantly beautiful photo when viewed with the knowledge of the tragic storm so soon after. I'm glad your friends and their families are safe, and hope that they can start to rebuild their lives.
The picture is great. I don't know why, I like that overexposed sky. Maybe I should say high key sky. The tree against it stands out somehow. I like the scene too: nice composition and timing.
I hope your friends there are doing well, considering the terrible situation of Myanmar. We receive only scarce news from there and unfortunately they are all distressing. I hope Myanmar will eventually come through all of this without more suffering.
