... the Road to Mandalay or Irrawaddy River in Myanmar (Burma) has a delta region characteristic of many rivers in South East Asia that carry monsoon runoff from the Himalayas. The piece depicts the Mouths of the Irrawaddy during the wet season when torrential rains wash sediments along the complex arrangement of river channels and into the Andaman Sea. This produces a cloudy, air-brush like effect in the image - the darker the water the heavier the sediment load. Shades of BLUE, LILAC and PURPLE represent varying degrees of vegetation growth and moisture content
