It is so hard to capture all the intricate details of these pagoda buildings and the sheer size of some of these Buddhas.

There are donation boxes everywhere full of cash which in any other country but Myanmar might be a temptation for crooks, but not in a country with 94% Buddhists! Here are some of my favorites:
