Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

Steve McCurry's famous shot of this place (4th in the gallery) shows it as I would have loved to see it. Un-"fixed" and unpainted, overgrown and magical. Instead it was rather lessened by the restorations (in my opinion) and I didn't really get anything I was too happy with there...

	Eva73 says: I really enjoyed Mingun. The size of that temple is just amazing. And it wasn't even finished, it was supposed to be even larger. Posted 23 months ago. ( permalink )
