Burma's Inle Lake

surrounding mountains reflect in its water...
it's a shallow lake with floating vegetation
 old pagodas reflect in the lake
where people commute by boat
with canals along floating gardens
people have their daily life: salting rice cake...
or taking a quick shower...
while others with high heels and yoga pants chat on their cellphones
These are welcoming guests.
 chatting with in the shadow of umbrella
there are big boats...
and smaller ones
fishermen row with their leg
and use their fish trap
rowing thru the vegetation
a mother watches from her boat...
her daughter washing a pot
while her dad comes back
They live in beautiful bamboo houses on stilts
with floating gardens
These Burmese smile at us from their boat
 this big boat is running fast...
because a storm is brewing
