Very good DoF in this image. You managed to keep the whole tower in focus, while slightly blurring the sky, for a very strong effect. Love your title too: I can hear the bells! Well done!

Very nicely captured, Sabine. I like your POV and your sharp DOF and your choice of showing only a section of the tower. Nice golden colour against the blue sky. Very fascinating to see pictures from Myanmar as not that many people visit this country. Well done!

Hi Wishnu

A superb warm vs cold colour opposition. Wonderful blue sky & repetition of the gold bells. Tfs!

Hi Wishnu,

Beautiful picture with the gold against the blue sky. Must be impressive to see in close and hear the bells.

Thanks,

I recently looked at temple bells on TE, and my reaction here is the same: this should come with a sound track! Wonderful colors of gold against the deep blue sky!

I like that! From any direction it came from... we are sure to hear sound of a lot of bells when the wind is enough present! The sound would be something to hear! And so colorful its true!

Hello Sabine,
This is a lovely bell tower!
Wonderful colour contrast, details are very well captured...
Simple but effective composition and I have no problems understanding the jeep is preferred when temp is... 40C?

ping..pingping..ping..man kann es fast hören. wieviele es wohl sind?
wieder mal ein toller einblick in "ferne" welten, sabine! :-)
einmalige farben und komposition mit den leuchtend goldenen
glocken gegen den tollen dunkelblauen himmel.
mir ist nur aufgefallen, warum ein horizontaler und nicht ein
vertikaler aufbau, da ein turm ja eher in die höhe als in die breite strebt?
das lag wahrscheinlich am aufbau des turmes?
1700 stufen, nicht schlecht, das sind 3 mal mehr als zur spitze des kölner domes - ich wäre da wohl auch lieber gefahren.

wonderful job & alles gute, thor.

Hi Sabine,
What a beautiful capture. This gilded tower with its multiple small bells is fascinating. Your title is also very evocative. It seems me to see all the monks with orange dresses running up for the prayer. Thank you to involve us in this remote and attractive country. Bravo! Annie

Very interesting concept. The oversaturation and high contract works very well with the gold.

Cheers!

Oh wooow... 1,729 steps? Gosh... I don't think I can do it... LOL... yes, I like to go up using a jeep instead.

I like the composition, very sharp, nice lighting and details, it look really great.

Thanks for sharing Sabine,

Hallo Sabine,
jeder kleinster Windhauch bringt die Glöckchen zum singen, ein wunderschönes Bild ich habe schon sehr viel über Burma von Dir erfahren und dafür bedanke ich mich. Wundervolle Farben, Details und Kontrast.
Heute haben wir sehr viel zu tun, nach der Pause, aber wir schaffen es, bis zum nächsten Mal.
Liebe Grüsse
Eva

Hallo Sabine,
ich möchte gerne die Glöckchen hören, wenn das klingeln so ist wie das Bild muss es herrlich sein. Wieder ein fantastisches Bild mit klasse Details, Kontrast und Farben.
Viele Grüsse

Hello Sabine!

I wonder, No mechanism here to activate them. They seem to be only ringing if the wind is blowing hard enough. The sound must be quite good, looking at the various sizes of bells.

Well seen and captured. Great contrasts and colors. Perhaps a vertical shot would have been more appriate here , and have the tower also off-centered. Just a tought.

Many thanks for your recent visits and comments. It is always a pleasure to ear from you.
Cheers!

Hi Sabine,
Great sharp and colourful shot you show here. You chose a perfect POV and DOF. Together with the note is it an excellent posting. I almost can hear the bells tinkeling. Congratualtions with this photo! TFS.

Lovely golden colours against a blue sky. I wonder if it would have also worked well shot in Portrait?

This is wonderful photo. Lovely subject. It sounds like you had a great time. It is certainly much more spiritual to climb the steps than use the escalator. Excellent POV and great colours

Liebe Sabine - Deine Bilder von Myanmar schicken mich dorthin zurueck. Oh, es war eine so andere Welt. So schoen und ruhig. Diese 'beglockten' Pagoden, tausendfach vergoldet, und gegen den blauen Abendhimmel gesehen, bleiben unvergesslich. (Uhhh, kriege Gaensehaut). Dein Bild IST Myanmar und eine schoene Huldigung an dieses wunderschoene, abgeschnittene und arme Land. Toll gemacht. Vielen Dank! - Cordelia :)

Hi Sabine

When I saw this as a thumbnail it reminded my of the Daleks in Dr Who, but when opened I can see it is far more beautiful. Thanks you!
