Smoking, Inle Lake, Myanmar - a photo on Flickriver

Today (16/3/23) sitting in hazy polluted Bangkok i was missing Inle Lake. It was a bit hazy back then early in 2015, just the time everything is dry already but the hot season hasn't quite started fully yet. And the time when farmers start to burn the fields in preparation for the next seeding before the rainy season. Occasionally the haze and dust was already tangible, at other times it was fairly clear and almost felt pristine with a fresh mountain breeze. Early smoky season so to speak.

I also saw an article in The Guardian today, where a UN report called Myanmar a failed state, with the junta propped up (and enabled) by arms from Russia and China (also Serbia). Quite right. I feel for the many normal people in the country; trapped and no change in sight. What a $#**@! mess. (rant over)

Here is also a frame of this fisherman rowing the boat, shot a little later.
