I love the fronds of tall grass that grow along the banks of Inle Lake, delicately shimmering in the wind.

Fishermen still work on Inle lake & not just posing for the tourists. This chap is demonstrating the one-legged paddle action they adopt to move along leaving their hands free to cast the fishing net. All the while balancing on the end of that boat. Best seen large. Click Z.

It may look like a dug-out canoe high and dry in a field but these fields are actually floating on Inle Lake and the boat, like ours, is making its way along a narrow waterway. The fields are anchored into the bottom of the shallow lake by those hundreds of wooden poles. We had a great time in Burma but little did we realise that it would be the last trip before the covid lockdown. Now we are very pleased to have actually been able to take a holiday in 2020. Let's hope the recent military coup doesn't lead to any deaths and can be resolved quickly.

A different kind of fisherman on Lake Inle. He is “fishing” for lake bottom weeds to use as fertiliser on his crops in the floating fields behind. The pile that he has already gathered appears to be about to engulf his boat.

At speed on Inle Lake, Central Myanmar.

On the grounds that you can't have too much of a good thing and sunsets on Lake Inle are a very good thing here is a shot of last night’s.
