Rituals and traditions: offering golden leaves

Myanmar, in Kyai Htee Yo: the Golden Rock

Kyai Htee Yo is a high place. At sunset, or by daybreak, above the clouds: 

sometimes feeling a bitter cold; always, this impression of touching the sky.

Pilgrims bring their own offerings, adding with care their golden leaves on the rough surface of the Rock, delicately balanced over the hills and plains of the Môn State..
