Kyaiktiyo Paya

Here is the romantic vision of the golden rock, that balances on a hair of the Buddha on a remote spot somewhere in the tranquillity of the mountains. in this picture everything distracting from that romantic notion, is left out of the frame. As you can see on the next picture, it's also a very popular holiday destination. And the place is crowded with people.
But as a photographer you can leave that all out. And nobody will accuse you of lying.
