My Pics #7 - Gangster Monk in Myanmar
Myanmar is a country of contrast, at the same time a brutal regime with many abuses and one of the most severe humanitarian crisis of recent times, on the other one of the most serene places I have ever been.
This was taken near the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon.
This is a 99m tall stupa made of briks and compltely covered in gold, it's crown is tipped with 5,448 diamonds and 2,317 rubies and the very top is tipped with a 76 carat (15 g) diamond.
But the best part was that the place was full of kids playing with their grandparents and the sound of little bells. Many monks and nuns were studying and talking and I caught glimpse of this tattooed monk.
