People Photographs from Myanmar

People in Myanmar are shy, polite, proud and friendly.

And very photogenic.

They didn’t mind my making their photographs. It seemed a pleasant experience for those photographed. Showing them the result when possible always produced smiles.

On more than one occasion I was asked to have my photo taken with a local. Not because of my good looks, but more because I am a Western tourist. It was always an enjoyable experience with lots of smiles and laughs exchanged.

And oh yes, it seems everyone has a smartphone.

Saturday Afternoon at the Portage Restaurant

Our local watering place is the Portage Hotel (Restaurant). It’s a real neat pub at the junction of about four snowmobile trails. This is what keeps it going in the winter as hundreds of machines and the people on them pass through the parking lot. Many stop to rest for a while at this friendly, comfortable and unique warm place for coffee and perhaps a bite to eat.

Today was the warmest in several recent very cold ones, in fact almost bikini weather. Lots of people out for a ride.

Winter is a fun time of the year.

The Grey Jay that hung around the coffee stop on the mountain was very unafraid as is the case with the ones I’ve encountered.

Getting close to make photos was easy.
