Cambodia gallery

This is the world's largest religious complex, Angkor Wat, at sunrise. Thousands 

of people come to the Angkor area to visit the Hindu/Buddhist shrines, built 
between the 9th and 13th centuries when the Khmer kingdom was at its peak. I especially like the reflection in the man-made moat makes a beautiful composition. 
See this National Geographic video for more.

From top: This market is located in an impoverished remote village near Sap Lake, one of Southeast Asia's biggest freshwater lakes. Middle: Children with bare feet walked through unpaved, muddy streets. They still had fun and posed for the cameras while their parents (bottom) sold vegetables, rice and home-cooked meals.

Susan Kahn, my roommate during the Cambodia excursion, and I took a tut tut from our hotel in Siem Reap. A tut tut, which is a trishaw pulled by a motorbike, is the main form of public transportation in Siem Reap. This trip cost us $1 each.

In Siem Reap, dinner and a performance of the traditional Apsara dance 

followed a busy day of touring the provincial capital in northwestern Cambodia. 

Strange trees with giant roots wrap themselves around the walls of 
Angkor Thom, impeding restoration of the temples but also contributing to 
the site's atmosphere in their "fantastic over-scale." The two main species, 
the silk-cotton tree and the strangler fig, are native to Cambodia.
