A closer view of the Mingun Pahtodawgyi
Myanmar (Burma), Mingun, March 2012

The Mingun Pahtodawgyi is a monumental uncompleted stupa began by King Bodawpaya in 1790. It was not completed, due to an astrologer claiming that, once the temple was finished, the king would die. The completed stupa would have been the largest in the world at 150 meters. Huge cracks are visible on the structure from the earthquake of 23 March 1839: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingun

I just discovered that another Fotothinger took photos of this stupa from exactly the same place but about a month earlier: http://www.fotothing.com/ellymerz/photo/43ba11d149dd0a02525efdc2fb07a3dd/

I love this landscape - rich browns with a constrasting bule sky. Superb
You must have taken copious notes. I appreciate your information - and learn something every day from them.
