This is my favourite photo of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh at night. It was taken with my trusty point-and-shoot camera while my husband and I were enjoying  the night river cruise.

The lights decorating the Royal Palace creates a golden (almost embossed) outline of the building amidst the blackness of the night. It was a fantastic sight, almost like something magical and surreal you read about in many fairy tales.

APAD 157: The serene Stung Sen

This is Stung (river) Sen in Kampong Thom province. It is an important part of the people living along it. Tonle Sen is a major tributary of the mighty  Tonle (river) Sap.

I took this photo very early in the morning at the provincial garden park. The weather was cool and the road quiet. Only afew people were walking about. I caught this motorised boat steadily making its way into the river. A little later, another boat passed by and on the boat were a group of young boys merrily rowing it.
