The 2009 Phnom Penh Water Festival

>> Wednesday, November 4, 2009


 
The annual three day festival appears to have been a success, though attendance was light compared to recent (pre-recession) levels. But everyone seemed to be having a good time and there was sunshine until late afternoon on the third day. My land manager and his family came down from Ratanakiri so their kids could see their first Om Duk. They certainly had a great time. Real glad to see that!

I returned from Takeo Province before I had planned, so I decided to get downtown and take some pictures. Here are some. Light was not great, unfortunately, within an hour of my taking the photos, rains came in hard.

About This Blog

This blog is a place where I describe my encounters with the natural beauty of Cambodia. Most often that means writing about and posting photos of scenes of exceptional interest, both physically and culturally, most off the main tourist tracks. Inevitably, that also means that I write about encounters with the remnants of Pre-Angkor and Angkor era culture and Cambodians met on the way!

Six Inter-Linked Blogs

This blog is connected to five other blogs. Each one focuses on a different aspect of Cambodia: its language, its wild flowering trees, its gemstones and gem mines, its endangered trees, the remote temples. Inter-linking makes it easy to travel between them.

These stories and You

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true .
