Cambodia

Some photos taken on a recent trip to Cambodia. This country was absolutely exhilarating and mind expanding, a place of glorious colours, intricate details, and excellent vibes. We melted on the calm islands and peaked in the neon filth of the cities. I could have spent years in the temples, walking barefoot over centuries-old stone carved into complex twisting stories, the light and shadow changing the mood second by second. I was not prepared for the scale of it all. Definitely a place to visit again.

Koh Ru Island, off the coast of Sihanoukville (the islands are far more serene than Sihanoukville, which is full of drunk Brits and large pink Russians)

Pavilion at the Royal Palace complex, Phnomh Penh.

 

Line up of mannequins showing the uniforms workers are expected to wear in the Palace (one colour for each day of the week). Love the wigs.

 

 

Banteay Srei temple, outside Siem Reap, carved from pink limestone (comes alive at sunset!)

Obligatory sunrise experience at Angkor Wat, went from chilly to blazing hot in a very short time.

 

Preah Khan temple at sunset.

My twin sister strolling past a crazily fractal tree, at Preah Khan.

Ficus tree melting onto a wall at Preah Khan (really shows you how ancient the temple is)
