APAD 041: That’s my Phnom Penh!
The tree-lined Samdech Sothearos Blvd. |
Ahhh… the flower trees lining up the Sothearos Boulevard are in full bloom. My apologies because I know I have not the captured it on camera well enough but it is truly a marvelous sight! A welcome sight and very pleasant to the eyes despite the hustle-bustle of passing vehicles.If you are planning to visit Cambodia, this is the best time of the year, when weather is dry, the sun is out all the time and the summer flowers are in full bloom. These yellow flower-trees are called pkah reach.
Just before the Independence Monument is Wat Lanka, along Preah Sihanouk Blvd. As you can see, the front gate is also covered in pkah reach blooms! |
I’ve been attempting to capture the beautiful flower trees along Sihanouk, Monivong, and Norodom Boulevards and in our area in Tuol Kok but so far, I have not been successful. And I’m really disappointed. I think it’s really time for me to invest on a DSLR. I’ve been using a point-and-shoot digicam for years now (if you see it you’ll think it’s from the jurassic period! LOL.) that it’s about time I level up my gadget 🙂
