A dead tamarind tree in Amarapura, Myanmar

Dead Tamarind Tree, amarapura, myanmar

This image is a dead tamarind tree in Taungthaman lake near U Bein bridge in Amarapura, Myanmar. My travels took me to 5 continents in 2015 which included two new continents — Asia and South America and new countries — India, Thailand, Brazil and Myanmar. Though I saw some breathtaking places and had incredible experiences, nothing compared to finally getting to my paternal ancestral home of Myanmar.

The feeling of walking in the footsteps of my father, grandparents, great & great-great grandparents and meeting about 70+ members of my family in Mandalay and Yangon is hard to put into words.
