Trip to Cambodia (October 2006)...just had time to upload now!

Angkor Wat, Cambodia


Reaching for the sky...


Me again...breathing in humidity and antiquity...



Tree sitting pretty...



Some of the fearless floodwater-waders!

Angkor Wat, Cambodia


Smiling through the incense...


Fooling around with effects on Picasa....


Time added color...


It was explained to us that these trees cannot be taken away or the structures will tumble...another take on a real tree house!

Angkor Wat, Cambodia


A Naga, staring silently into oblivion for centuries....


Timeless dancing....


It's quite a steep climb!! (Yours truly didn't attempt it...hey, it was HOT and humid, and I only had 10 minutes left to finish looking around...I wasn't about to spend them walking up and down some steps! :)


I was here (and got a picture to prove it!)

Trip to Cambodia, Bayon


Smiled upon...


Storm clouds add a spooky backdrop...


Peek-a-boo!

Trip to Cambodia


Sunset on flooded rice paddies...the flood continued onto the roads...we ended up riding on a cart behind "rice tractors", wading through the waters (in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere), and riding on one pickup truck with 20 other people...(and don't get me started on the scam artist who made all this possible!)



The old way meets the new way...



Endless stare...

Riding on water, thanks to unexpected (by us...duh! it was rainy season!) floods.


Multipurpose flood waters, wash your motorbike and your child (mud flecks come from the "rice tractor" driving by).
