IC APAD 020

A dirt road in rural Cambodia leading up to another, er, dirt road. Taken one summer day while, in the midst of a 40C temperature, we were on our way to have a meeting with our project beneficiaries. Riding on a moto-bike, we kept a respectable distance lest we be covered in a cloud of billowing red dust.
