I always look for texture as I photograph at Shwe Yaunghwe Kyaung monastery in Inle Lake Myanmar.

PHOTO TIP: LOOK FOR TEXTURES & ADD CLARITY

This pagoda is right next to the famous wooden monastery with the round windows (see my previous post) This one is often ignored by tourists as they only visit the monastery next door. This one is extremely interesting for photography with its amazing textures, many archways and small Buddhas in little arches. A perfect place to find locals in daily worship. Again, I was surprised at how much more open and friendly the Burmese people are about having their photo taken. They like to pose so people will share their devotion to their faith.
