More Shwedagon Pagoda

These are some more photos of Shwedagon Pagoda.  It seems to me that since it’s the icon of Yangon and Burma, it deserves a few more photos.

1.      As we got farther away from the main pagoda, the complex got less crowded but the temples, pagodas and shrines were just as interesting.

2.      This is Vicky in the second photo at the Saturday Corner, which I thought was a little more interesting than my Sunday Corner.

3.      Off the beaten path, I saw this very nice temple with a jade center structure and a lone woman worshiping with clothing that matched the jade temple.

4.      Another temple with many Buddha statues and neon attractant lights behind each of the main Buddha’s heads.  The two sitting monks looked a bit uncertain.

5.      And finally a temple that was quite nice with a beautiful wood floor, gold and jeweled posts, lots of large and prominent Buddha statues – and one lone temple cat.
