Myanmar - Michael Gfoeller - Bog

Myanmar: Kingdom of Gold is an epic photographic journey through one of world's greatest civilizations. Myanmar is much more than an exotic travel destination. It is home to one of humanity's greatest cultural and artistic traditions, deeply rooted in Buddhism and stretching back in time nearly 3000 years. Myanmar boasts hundreds of golden temples that are among the finest examples of architecture in the world. They are studded with magnificent sculptures, bas-reliefs, and frescoes, and literally covered in gold. In the case of Myanmar, mere description is not enough. Seeing is believing.
