Hsipaw

Travel Guide

Right before entering the village where we were going to spend the night we walked through a field with wild flowers surrounding us, the sun slowly falling behind the mountains and horses running freely.

I set out to photograph the waterfall in the background, but instead it was this image that has been stuck in my mind ever since. An hour into the trek I came across this waste site with two locals searching for anything of value within the rubbish. It's was one of several I had seen throughout Myanmar but the contrast with the immense landscape surrounding it pressed home a harsh reality. Many people are making steps to reduce their own footprint on the planet and it's the easiest smallest, easiest things like saying no to plastic straws and having a reusable coffee cup that add up to reducing scenes like this all over the world.
A golden temple rises over the slums of Hsipaw, Myanmar.
In the morning of our second day trekking throughout the mountains in different villages outside Hsipaw Myanmar, this boy who lives at the home stay puts on his traditional face mask called, Thanaka. Thanaka is a yellowish-white paste made from ground bark.
