Friday Photo: “Golden Pagoda in Rangoon” by Hiroshi Yoshida

Similar to the Asterix cartoon and the 1970s Shanghai photo posted a few weeks ago, I wanted to continue the habit of posting more visually colorful and textually light material on Fridays, especially a photo, map or piece of art from the road or other another blog which caught my attention that week and gives a taste of why I enjoy living in Asia and having access to its history and flavors. Food, beverage, and lifestyle will still be the topic of my separate “after work” blog EastSip.com.

This week I found this simple color woodcut on Annex Galeries dated 1931 of the golden pagoda in Rangoon:
