SmugMug > keywords > temples > The Myanmar government has closed off roof-access to some of the larger Bagan temples, such as this impressive gold-plated one in an attempt to get people (foreigners and locals alike) to pay to go into the man-made viewing platform they built in the middle of the Bagan plain.  Ignorant folks on organized tours, near as I can tell are the only ones that fall for this ploy.  Independent-types are usually much more savvy than this and try their darnedest as they travel around the country to give the repressive Myanmar regime as little money as possible.

Thankfully, the vast majority of the thousands of temples at Bagan are free and open to whomever wishes to climb up them and soak up the views.

Location: Bagan, Myanmar

Lens used: 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 IS
