SAINT ANTHONY CATHEDRAL
MESSAGE FROM THE PHOTOBLOGGER
I have spent my last days in Yangon with shooting those heritage buildings. Mostly, Cathedrals and rich architectural structures from post-war era. Those days are miserable for me. Shooting but then i am lost in mood. Weather is simply unpredictable. I hold camera, there it rained. I don’t know what to say. I did not want to leave Burma, Number (1) place for my CANDID shooting. I shoot almost everywhere in Yangon even at those restricted places like University of Yangon. I did sneak in and shoot in early morning.
4th July 2009, here I am in Singapore. Some of my fans expect Singapore photos here on my blog. I am sorry to tell you that I won’t have much photos taken in Singapore (except for those landmarks / special events related posts) here on YE LWIN OO . COM. Being a Burmese photoblogger, I am eager to decorate my blog with photos from Burma. That’s one of the reasons I kicked off Road to Bagan.
SHOOTING
It was a sunny day, a moment of Yangon’s afternoon. Me and my best friend, we were enjoying a tea break at our usual hang out place, SHWE KHA YARR GYI TEA SHOP of upper Pannsodann road. At a speedy glance, I saw this holy church rising across the road. I have decided to go in and shoot. Thanks the trustee members for their kind permission for photo shooting. It’s such a beautiful cathedral and yes it is among those Top 200 buildings on the Yangon City Development Committee’s Heritage List. Precise location of the cathedral is Upper Pannsodann Road, Kantawlay, Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma).
Credits: St.Anthony’s trustee members for their permission for my shooting.

It was Saturday evening, but then I saw some worshipers. I don’t know much about those Christians’ customs but then I have only heard of Sunday Mass. Is there any Saturday Mass?
