"I've finally figured out what's wrong with photography. It's a one-eyed man looking through a little 'ole. Now, how much reality can there be in that?" — David Hockney
Myanmar (Burma): Golden Rock (9 images)
The Golden Rock, also known as Kyaik-htiyo is one of Myanmar's most sacred Buddhist sites. Located around three hours drive east of Yangon, it is a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists from all over Asia who come to pray and rub gold leaf on the precariously perched rock. As with many sites of pilgrimage, getting there requires effort. A nail-biting truck ride takes you halfway up the mountain, and the rest of the steep climb is done on foot.
