Dawn at Angkor Wat Temple, Siem Reap

Braving the Sunrise

For some reason, when Emily & I were temple-hopping in Siem Reap a few weeks ago, we decided to try to experience experience at Angkor Wat. Foolhardy, yes. Touristy, check. I can’t even remember why we even attempted it. Sunrise at Angkor is a mainstay for the intrepid Temple tourist; which means that literally thousands […]

Sunset at Baphuon, Angkor Thom, Siem Riep; the king's personal temple.

Sunset at Baphuon – ប្រាសាទបាពួន

When we were visited Siem Reap last month, we decided to skip the massive crowds watching the sunset at Angkor Wat and Banteay Chmar. Instead we snuck up to the top of this massive pyramid. It was closed, so I talked the guard into giving tacit permission for us to let us up. It was […]

Flowers in Ratanakiri Province, waiting to usher in the monsoons

Waiting for Rainy Season – រដូវ ភ្លៀង ជិត មក ដល់ ហើយ

It’s nearly the end of dry season here in Cambodia—I feel this shot has an season-appropriate feel, with the warm, yellow colour palette of the early Cambodian summer. Khmer New Years is just around the corner, ready to usher in the early, cooling rains as it has for thousands of years.

Royal Palace on the Riverfront, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Preabaromareachaveang ព្រះ បរមរាជវាំង

It’s seriously called that. It’s the Khmai word for Royal Palace. Just saying it is good for some serious vocal calisthenics. The Palace is really an excellent testament to Khmer architecture. In front of the Palace is a nice park overlooking the river. The park is a great place to hang in the evenings. You […]

Yeak Loum Crater lake in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia.

Our morning run…. ហាត់ ប្រាន នៅ បឹង ួយា់កឡោម ពេល ព្រឹក។

One of the perks about living in Ratanakiri, Cambodia: Saturday morning trail runs at Yakloum, our crater lake. Early in the morning, the lake is deserted and hushed; with only the sounds of wild parrots, mynahs, and the occasional monkey swinging from the trees. The morning air is crisp, and the trail is cool as it […]

The ancient Angkorian King's promenade

The King’s Promenade at Angkor

An ancient, raised promenade for the Angkorian king, connecting the palace area to the king’s personal temple. This photo belies the actual size of the temple…. it’s huge! And tall. My wife and I snuck up at sunset, after having sorta gotten permission from the guard. It was quiet, deserted and breathtaking from the top, […]

Jammin in the Hammock at Beng Melea

Jammin’ in our ENO Hammock at Bung Melea – ដេច អង្រឹង នៅ ប្រាសាទ បឹង មាលា។

I submitted this image to ENO Hammocks again for their monthly photo conest. ENO makes the strongest, lightest, post portable hammocks in the world. I’m absolutely in love with mine! Here’s last month’s submission, which failed to win anything…. So we shot this at the ancient Cambodian temple ruin of Beng Melea. It’s out in […]
