Ubein Bridge in the Amerapura region in Burma. (near Mandalay)
This man made bridge still boasts some of it's original teak wood posts from when it was built in 1850.

Aside from the huge tourist activity monks and villagers are the main users of this thoroughfare.

The best time to enjoy the bridge is before the buses arrive. Magic hour, sunrise. you'll see a stream of monks crossing to head to their Wats.

I like taking a step back "behind the scenes" and including the photographer in the scene.
I particularly like this shot as the subject is in the middle of the bridge and your attention is pulled there by the photographer and bridge itself.
