Floating Market on Inle Lake

Floating Market on Inle Lake
En route to a village's floating market, boats converge on a narrow bay of Inle Lake in Myanmar (Burma). Weaving, fishing, and the cultivation of floating gardens are integral to life along the lake, which is home to the Intha culture group. The Intha are noted for their special style of rowing, which they accomplish while standing with one leg wrapped around the oar.
