Worshippers' candles illuminate the Shwedagon Paya, a gilded Buddhist pagoda that rises almost 330 feet (100 meters) in central Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma).
The temple, with its glittering spires and stupas, was immortalized by Rudyard Kipling in his Letters from the East.

Tracy here, for some reason I'm having intermittent troubles logging in..
Yes, it was a fairly quiet Sat for me, I started my day with a walk in the park with Fergs and my friend and then a massage and didn't do much else in between...it was lovely.....
Hope you had a relaxing day too...

My day was 50/50 so I guess that's OK.
A walk in the park, an animal, and thou.....what could be better? Tracy.
