Close-up of the Popa Taungkalat Monastery at the top of a volcanic plug of Mount Popa
Myanmar (Burma), Pegu area, March 2012

Rising to 2,417 feet (737 meters) from the flat, surrounding plain, the Mt Popa Taungkalat Monastery is built on the core of an extinct volcano last active 250000 years ago. It takes 777 steps, fending off monkeys, and a dose of ambition to reach the top of this volcanic plug that formed a pedestal hill (named Taung Kalat) sticking out of the mountain's sloping hillside: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Popa
