Reportage
Myanmar,
Although called  lake  this vast territorial zone of water stretches to 22 kilometers long and 10 kilometers of width and is in fact more of a large inundated valley set between two mountains. A magnificent natural landscape with its handful of houses on stilts attacked by the humid weather and linked by a network of canals covered by water hyacinth. A beautiful silver mirror with metallic sparkles decorated with reed standing up like a bunch of flags blown by the wind. A small watery place full of charm and poetry‌
