We were driving back to Kep from Kampot when we were stopped by this group of ducks. Oh look, they all have made it across, except for the last duck which we think was the bodyguard.

Sunset over the Gulf of Thailand
Kep, Kingdom of Cambodia

Ang nag-aapoy na Haring Araw, ito ang napili kong litrato na sa tingin ko ay angkop sa tema natin ngayong linggo. Kuha ito sa bayan ng Kep kung saan ako ay naka-base sa loob ng apat na buwan noong taong 2007. Ang Kep ay napapaligiran ng Gulf of Thailand, at sa aking opinyon, ito ay may pinakamagandang sunset sa buong Cambodia. Kung inyong pagmamasdang mabuti, naglalagablab pa rin ang araw sa kabila ng unti-unting pagdilim ng kalangitan, na para bang pinaglalabanan ang pagsaklob ng dilim sa sanlibutan.

I know I am breaking the rules again, but please allow me to give you a brief background. Two years ago, I left the comforts of Phnom Penh for a work assignment down south of Cambodia – to the coastal town of Kep. Our organization had no office there yet so I had to use the same guesthouse room (where I live) as my office. There was no electricity yet – generator operates only at night – and so I travel to our project areas by day and do the paperworks at night. Each working day I was absolutely knackered from the bone-crunching moto-ride visiting remote villages. But when I go home, all the exhaustion simply vanished because of this:

Muli po akong bumabalik sa Litratong Pinoy mula sa ilang buwang pagkawala.

Ang litrato sa itaas ay kuha sa bayan ng Kep sa Cambodia noong taong 2006 habang kami ng aking asawa ay papaakyat, patungo sa aming inuupahang. Tumira kami sa bayang ito ng halos limang buwan dahil sa aking trabaho. Kuha ito pasado alas singko ng hapon, ilang minuto bago pa lumubog ang haring araw. Nasa likuran namin ang araw, at, kung inyong mapapansin ang aming anino, ito’y pahaba na para bang kami’y mga matatangkad at payat. Sa tingin ko, dahil dito, nagsilbing panturo (pointer) ng direksyon ang anino namin patungo sa luntiang burol.

The photo above was taken in Kep town, Cambodia in September 2006, while my husband and I were walking up to our hillside guesthouse. We lived there for almost 5months because of my work. It was past 5pm and the sun was minutes away from setting. While we were walking, I noticed our shadows. The sun was behind us that our shadows were elongated, making us look taller and skinnier. Our shadows, it seems, is pointing us to the direction of the lush hills.
