U Bein Bridge at Sunset, Amarapura, Myanmar

            As of today this happens to be my most popular photo on Flickr with over 120,000 views and more than 5,700 faves.

You are probably familiar with the feeling that with some photos you already know that the shot is something special the moment you take it. That was exactly the case with this photo for me.

The sunset was shaping up to be spectacular and the reflections in the water were just perfect. So I sprinted down to the shoreline, rented a boat and told the owner to take me out into the middle of the lake where I was able to capture this fantastic shot.
