sunrise in Mrauk U Photo

Photographer’s Note

In Mrauk U it`s worth to get up early to have views like this.
Photo is taken from Schwedaung Pagoda,situated on a hill,the highest point in this area.

Mrauk-U was the capital city of 48 kings for 355 years and was founded by King Mong Saw Mon in 1430. The city offers the visitor many chances to study the cultural and traditional heritage handed down to the present day Rakhine generation by their forefathers. Mrauk U can rightfully be claimed as the “Open-air Museum” of the arts and culture of the people of Rakhine.
The Golden days of this city were between the 16th and 17th centuries and contemporary to the days of the Tudor Kings, the Moghuls, the Ayuthaya Kings and the Ava (Inwa), Taungoo and Hanthawaddy Kings of Myanmar.
The city was well-fortified with 19 mile long fortification walls, moats and natural barriers: the then war-torn Rakhines began to regard it as the “Promised Land”.

Once, more than six million shrines and pagodas flourished and there is rarely a hilltop that does not adorn itself with one pagoda or another.
After the annexation of Arakan (Rakhine) by the British, the capital was shifted to Sittwe (Akyab): since that time Mrauk-U was known by the people as Mrohaung (Old City). The name Mrohaung was given by the British when they shifted their seat of administration to Sittwe in 1826. The original name was restored in 1979.
The city is just 40 miles away by river from Sittwe and the trip takes 3 to 4 hours. There are daily flights to Sittwe from Yangon which take 2 hours via Thandwe. The boat departs from a jetty in the Sattroegya, a tributary creek of the Kaladan river and on the way there are many places of interest to be seen along the river.

This is a really beautiful scene with the mist and that pagoda in the sun.
I agree about getting up early to get the best light and pictures. Very well done!

stunning work. The LIGHT, its so beautiful. I mean the view is good, its always going to be there but its the light you got, or rather chose, that floods this work with magic. Its like a painting really.

pastadog (12821) 2006-12-26 6:48

Hi Leo, this is remarkable! The light, the fog, the mysterious golden shrine standing out so well out of the green and fog; what a photo, man!!! congratulations, Daniel

macondo (13141) 2006-12-26 7:48

A beautiful scene, with the golden pagoda looming out of the morning mists. The whole scene has a marvellous light, and the palm fronds poking out of the mist look wonderful. A very fine shot, well done.

Lieber Andreas ! This is absolutely magic and goes beyond, and I am so glad you got up to show us this. Wonderful the remaining fog lingering in the palm trees ... feels like being on another planet, in another world ... like a fairy tale. Happy Christmas to you (I guess it is not too late to say this), Barbara.

Wow, a wonderful, dreamy picture. I like the warm sunlight hitting the pagoda (?). The palms sticking out of the morning fog add a lot of depth to the image.

Hello Andreas -

What a beautiful image! You are right, getting up early can lead one to marvelous images like this one. I like how the morning light highlight the temple and the fog/mist accentuates the scene and adds an air of mystery. The exposure, composition, DOF, etc, etc are spot on. Excellent image! Well done!

Thank you for sharing

Hello, Andreas--
This is an incredible shot, the brilliant orange of the pagoda contrasts well with the green of the trees, and the natural spotlight on it is great. The mist adds a strong mood to the scene, also.
Thanks!

Hello Andréas, more still than a good framing this image releases a nostalgia of this place lost with this exposure or the fog grows more still this impression of loneliness or bathes this splendid building embraced by a shaving luminosity, the way in which you manage to play with these ranges of light and colour is rather extraordinary, it is a splendid image, Merry Christmas and better want

I don't know how I've missed this amazing photo until now! BUT better late than never.
I'm sure there's nothing different I can say about it; the light is incredible and it was certainly worth getting up early, for the mist as well as the light. Of course your high POV was essential and the off-centre composition of the pagoda perfect. First-class work.

Welcome back!!! :-) This is STUNNING. It looks like something from a film set. I love everything about it. The composition, the lighting, the many layers wrapped in fog. This is excellent and it comes as no surprise to me that 15 people have chosen this as one of their favourites. Superb.

Hello Andreas,
wonderful picture... so full of mystical presence. I like it very much. I've always dreamed about making this kind of photo and never succedded... but last week, nearly at 4.00 PM it happened. I saw solitary trees on the hill, some houses with smoke from the chimney, few layers of hills and all in wonderful low sun backlight... but we were in a hurry to the doctor's visit. The doctor said everything is O.K. but I was without a picture. But only until today... now I put yours in my favourites gallery, so I can look at it everytime I want to ;)))

Happy new year to you and your family.

Wir hatten Glück und Pech zugleich mit dem Wetter, es war bedeckt und ein wenig regnerisch. Das jedoch war positiv, denn bei den angenehmen Temparaturen konnten wir gerade in Bagan sehr viel besichtigen (ohne uns die Fußsohlen zu verbrennen ;-)
Vielen Dank für diesen Augenschmauß, herzliche Grüße - und nimm' mich doch mit zurück nach Myanmar!

On se demande si on admire une photo ou alors une peinture, mais quel que soit le cas, le résultat est fabuleux.
Cette petite pagode ressort très bien avec ses couleurs de feu, le soleil semble ne vouloir illuminer qu'elle, elle surgit de la brume.

Excellent travail.
Amitié.
Daniel.

The light on the stupa is just magical.
You can be proud of this one.
Happy new year !

Hi Andreas,

A wonderful image with the mysterious atmosphere. This morning fog confers on the landscape a very beautiful softness, it is very pleasant to look at. A perfect management of the light and colors in fact an extraordinary photograph of beauty. Cheer and superb work.

With all my friendships and a very good year 2007.

sebcz (2345) 2007-01-04 15:02

Hi Andreas!
This photo is absolutely stunning, looks like a painting. The light gave you a 'present', sheding itself the way it did.
Superb landscape.

Hello Leo,

Woaowww :) What can I say ? It's marvelous. A great perspective with so many levels on this picture. And also, a very special light, giving a magic atmosphere to this view.

Best regards, Laurent.

Stepan (27175) 2007-01-05 15:21

Wonderful light! Fog and gold colours for the pagoda provide a real mystic atmosphere.You were very lucky to assist to such a natural "show". Very peaceful picture.

Impressive landscape, the fog creates a very interesting atmosphere, good perspective of a high point of view and good composition, without a doubt a magical and full place of mystery. Good Work!

sebinho342 (18740) 2007-01-06 18:52

Hi Leo, already seen it almost 10 times this picture ... At least.
A TREMENDOUS PICTURE, surely the best ever post from of myanmar of those temples.
Considering the large amount of pictures posted from that kind, this is a true compliment.
All my congratulations, you deserve at least 300 points for that stuff

sam224 (5851) 2007-01-08 10:27

Wonderful picture: I love the light you captured here.. the red reflections on the building are charming as well as the mist coming up from the forest.
Good point of view.
Very well done indeed!

rj2747 (526) 2007-01-15 14:34

I don't exaggerate when I say this is my favorite photo from Trekearth so far. I find the shape of Burmese pagodas so alluring to begin with, and this is placed in a magical context. You have perfectly exposed the misty surrounds and they are highly evocative of mystery and mystique. Then there is the beautiful contrast of green on the deep rust colored pagoda and earth. Delightful, thank you for making the effort.

Wow, I thought you could only get shots like this in Bagan, Leo. I haven't been to Mrauk U yet, but this photograph has convinced me that I must combine it with my next trip to Bagan. Beautiful light and mood, wonderful depth and feel - this is an image that I would be very proud to have in my gallery. Cheers . . . David

Theana (623) 2007-03-21 5:02

I can't imagine what it feels like to see this scenery "for real" but I am pretty certain it must be overwhelming. This place looks so mysterious and inviting at the same time! It could also well be a painting...

snowfalken (1108) 2007-03-21 8:34

Hello Andreas,

How can I critique such a picture if all I can use are some words and a smiley? I bet everyone would dream about taking such a photo!
The composition is excellent! You placed the pagoda in one of the strongest point of the picture and the warm sunrise light falls in the same place! The mists in the valleys create a great, mysterious atmosphere. It seems that every detail is a witness of the century long history in those places!
The distribution of the color saturation also favors the pagoda and the area around it! Sorry I can only award you two points! Very well done! Thank you!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

bigboroboy (1009) 2007-04-18 16:17

Your Myanmar shots are stunning. It seem that the country inspired you to raise your photography to another level. The clouds/mist in this shot add a lot of mood but the lighting on the actual stupa itself helps to just pick it out in the busy frame. GREAT!

PHIL

batalay (21014) 2007-04-21 4:15

Hello Leo,

I enthusiastically join the chorus of admirers of this remarkable shot. The composition and perspective, the interplay of light and shadow, and the colors and definition are spectacular. The amorphos quality of the fog serves as a counterpoint to the well define image of the temple complex. This is a surreal image, but the note is informative enough to make it real.

Well done,

Bulent

keribar (42756) 2007-04-25 1:00

This is so beautiful Leo,¨that it is hard to believe it is real. I was also at Bagan some 10 years ago¨but was not able to capture this kind of unreal beauty. May be I should include Mrauk U in my next Myanmara expedition.
Congratulations = Izzet

belido (16627) 2007-04-30 11:04

When I see this picture, one question is in my mind: how did you do that, I mean: how could you transfer all that mystic and beauty on the picture? It a stunning image. My first favorite one. Thanks!

The myst..the golden light on the tower..the gentle tones, a fine composition with good contrast and framing. Tack sharp in the area's where it matters..oh dear this one is stunning, really! The myst creates a fantastic mood and due to the fact that it hangs between the larger vegetation some layers seem to be created. Well I guess you heared the most of it in other posts allready, I can again end with saying just : Wonderful!

Hi Leo
It seems to be a painting because it'a a wonderful atmospher with this temple, the mist in the middle of the trees, atmospher that a painter could have created. The temple could have been just a bit more on the left, but the plains on the left are important too. And the small part of grass in the left corner let us guess where you are takng this picture from.
I like it! Bravo! TFS

Since you referred to Birma in your comment, I can't resist to comment this one and give it 2 points (because can't give 100!)... even if it has already so many views and points. It is really a beautiful catch - it looks a scene from the cinema. GREAT athmosphere!

Your gallery demonstrates that you belong to the "top level" photographers - you have some of the best pictures from TE. Congratulations and keep sharing!

Take care,
Pedro

Hallo Andreas,
meiner Meinung nach einer der besten Fotos auf TE, ich wudner mich warum ich nicht schon vorher geschrieben hab, dann mach ich das halt jetzt.
Also alles ist an dem Bild toll, Atmosphäre, Farben, Licht, einfach umwerfend!
Der Nebel, das Gebäude, einfach alles.
Persönlich eines meiner Lieblingsbilder auf dieser Seite, danke fürs Uploaden, dass ich es zu meinen Favoriten hinzufüge, kannst du dir wahrscheinlich fast denken :-)

Beste Grüße
Mark

You are the best.

vmukherjee (395) 2008-08-20 1:54

A breathtaking view of the scenery! Looks like straight from the pages of fairytale. The lines of trees covered in mist, soft golden sunlight falling on the conical building, all look like something out of the world. Thanks for sharing.

Olá Dear Andreas,

Better late than never, this expression is Portuguese, I do not know if it is also used in Germany.

The other TE friends have said all, but I think this photo can bear another two points ... ;-)

Mit besten Grüßen,
Filipe (Portugal)

Yeoman (1009) 2008-10-13 13:11

Hi Andreas,

A photo sublimates by the management of the light, cloudy materials) and due to its centring.

A magnificent moment which you knew how to get and which, today, passes on of the strength and its majesty.

Congratulations !

Hi Leo,

This is Amazing!, how long did you have to wait for his beautiful light to fall so perfectly on the structure. The placement of it amongst the fog clad trees is perfect.

Amazing scene, very well captured.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Leo
Seeing this kind of shot makes me regret not having had enough time to visit Mrauk U on my trip to Myanmar.
Wonderful stupa amid the cloudy jungle .

Damn ...look at the themes, comments and useful note marks on this one. I've probably looked at this about fifty times over the last few years, and thought I already commented on it, but apparently not. Well, all's I can say is that I probably can't say anymore that hasn't already been said and it's worth every comment, point and mark on it.

Great work
John

coco (27928) 2009-02-04 3:36

magiqa (1262) 2009-03-03 12:29

This beautiful photo looks like a painting, unreal, like a dream vision. I was not up that early in the morning to take photos of the sun rise over the pagodas, only the sunset. So TFS!

Hi Andreas, This is a superb location with the downward POV it looks quite surreal, as if in a dream. The mistiness adds to this feeling. Well balanced with the main subject in a good position. TFS. Murray.

First I thought that this is Bagan city. I had a chance to have morning surf on balloon over Bagan and its ancient pagodas.
