APAD 052: Square

Posted by on Apr 30, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Kep, Photo Hunt | 6 comments

Looking out.
This is a derelict government building in the coastal town of Kep. Kep, in its heydays, was the prime weekend getaway location of Phnom Penh’s elite and its French colonisers. Opulent villas were built there – including the Royal Family’s vacation house – but all were abandoned in the 70s during the Khmer Rouge regime. Nowadays, these villas stood there, crumbled and ruined, as witnesses of Kep’s fomer glory and the cruelty of the Khmer Rouge era.

APAD 051: Sisowath Quay

A beautiful sunny day in Phnom Penh, with a bit of cloud formation in the sky. I love passing through Sisowath Quay when it is quiet and virtually empty like this day.

APAD 048: Still in shambles

… and waiting to be restored.

Despite the many millions of dollars poured into and countless experts from different countries that raced to help in the restoration of this UNESCO World Heritage Site – the Angkor Wat – there are still other lesser known temples  in the complex (but equally fascinating) that lie in shambles waiting to get noticed.
