Yadana Hsemee Pagoda Complex
 We arrived at this ruined complex
with lots of small pagodas and went in search of the
main building. This is the first time we found no information board, nothing on
the internet and in fact many tourists pass by. For hundreds of years
monasteries, palaces and important buildings had been built using teak, this
complex was one of the first to have been constructed in brick in the
area.
  We passed a
throne, impressed at the neat flooring.
 Most of the outside wall was intact and the umbrella on this outer
pagoda twinkled in almost defiance.
  The main
building.
 Walking down the side and looking in.
 Buddha sits
exposed to the elements and very weathered.
 Unsupported, reinforced or cared for. How many more
earthquakes will it survive.
   In one of the smaller pagodas we found a happier, more sheltered Buddha, a pretty entrance
shape.
  Two more outdoor
Buddha’s.
  We watched the field workers.
   Bear with some jaunty angles.
 One final
look, pleased we had visited and then back to our horse and cart.
ALL IN ALL GREAT BRICKWORK
