This is my 1,100th post to "thus i have seen". Seems like a good time to reflect on things (see Pause to Reflect and/or Pause To Reflect) and review the places, pictures, and comments that I have shared. Over the upcoming weeks, I will provide a retrospective of my five favorite posts from the Art (151), Dharma (160), Science (375) and Other (413) categories; one category per week. I'll start with Science next Monday. I confess that I'm looking forward to filtering through all of these post. [NOTE: Image above is a painting by the Burmese artist, Naw Lai Lai Ohn, that I purchased at the Hinnthar Gallery in Yangon (thx, Saw Lwin) after the Hukaung Valley rattan survey (see Hukaung Valley Rattan Survey). First thing I see every morning when I get out of bed].
