1951 Burma Burmese Climb Hill Side Lane Myanmar Pagoda Pasture Pongyi Rangoon Spire Wayside Tried
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1951, we find ourselves wandering through a quiet lane at the north end of Golden Valley in Rangoon, Burma (now Myanmar). The lane, which is bordered by lush greenery, eventually peters out into pastureland. However, our intrepid explorers didn't let that deter them, as they were determined to discover what lay beyond. With a sense of adventure, they climbed a flight of steps up the hillside, each step bringing them closer to an intriguing sight. As they reached the top, they were rewarded with a breathtaking view of a pagoda spire rising majestically against the backdrop of the forest. The pagoda, which appears to be a small and informal pongyi school, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. Pongyi is a Burmese term for a Buddhist monk, and this school likely served as a place of learning and contemplation for young monks. The photograph captures the essence of the 1950s in Burma, a time of simplicity and connection to nature and spirituality. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this beautiful and mystical land. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the rich history and culture of Burma, and the sense of wonder and adventure that comes with exploring new places. It is a treasure from the past that transports us to a time and place that is both exotic and familiar.
