Hi Howard! I've often thought of going to Burma. It's been a toss-up between Burma and Vietnam/Laos. Now that the military dictatorship of the last 60+ years is ending - and having seen your photos, we just might make it Burma! 1) Love the sunrise with the balloon. Great shot! 2) Esther may have had her spires lined up, but I prefer your sunset shot, with the actual sun in the photo. Is the lens you used, particularly resistant to flare? Or, did the haze from the fires (which fires?) solve the problem for you? 3) Soemoo looks like a delightful chap! Was his English good enough for decent communications ... or do you speak Burmese, too? I can't wait to see more!
