>Sunday Scenery 007: Summer sunset
>
I was fussing over what to cook one Friday night when I looked out the kitchen window and saw this amazing view before me. Wouldn’t you agree?
>Skywatch Friday 004: Hot air balloon rides
>
Just got back from a month-long holiday. So here’s my entry for this week’s Sky-watch Friday…
Experiencing temple-burn out? Try the balloon rides in Siem Reap! Now is the perfect time (summer) to do it, I guarantee you. For only $15 you get a tethered balloon ride 200meters above the ground and a spectacular view of the Angkor Wat complex amidst the the jungle and rice fields that surround it.
>Sunday Scenery 006: Balloon-power
>
Driving along on an almost empty road one Saturday afternoon, my husband and I were amused to see this moto ahead of us. Just a few meters away from the French Embassy was this giant balloon, almost obscuring the moto-dup (moto-taxi) from the view. My husband and I chuckled at the odd sight before us and it made us think that the huge balloon was providing energy/power for the moto-dup to run. Alternative energy? Hah. Only in Phnom Penh!
>Sky-watch Friday 003: Royal Palace at Dusk
>
Taken from a boat while we were on a river cruise. The sun has just set and the light is fading. I love the silhouette of the palace spires jutting out against the orange sky.
>Sepia Scenes 002: Ancient Gallery Walls
>
Inside the Angkor Wat Temple’s gallery wall. As you can see, the hallway extends as far as the eye (or the lens) can see. The walls are carved with scenes from the Khmer version of the epic Ramayana. The carvings are in perfect detail and condition, as if it were carved only recently. Amazing. Truly a world wonder.
