Description

Inle Lake, in Myanmar’s Shan State, is 100 sq KM+, with floating villages (and post offices), stilted monasteries, famous for its leg-rowing fishermen.

The misty mornings, bright light and reflective waters create an ethereal canvas. Photographing Inle lake felt surreal, and hopefully that comes across in my images
