APAD 345: Vimean Eikareach
Also known as the Independence Monument.
A memorial to Cambodia’s war dead and to celebrate the country’s independence.
Built in 1958 and designed by the renowned Cambodian architect, Vann Molyvann, to celebrate Cambodia’s independence from the French (1953).
It is in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, of the style seen at the great Khmer temple at Angkor Wat and other Khmer historical sites. It is adorned with nagas or the seven-headed snakes. The above photo was taken from south of Norodom Boulevard.
APAD 344: Pretty yellow summer flowers
It is still hot and dry in Phnom Penh despite the fact that we are supposed to be already in the rainy/wet season. The heat is sweltering and one time two weeks ago I stayed outdoors flying kites for a few hours and got myself a nasty sunburn. I’m still waiting for my sunburn to heal
Anyways, speaking of summers… summers in Cambodia meant the blossoming of the of these flower trees around the city, called phka loeung or royal yellow flower. Aren’t they pretty?
These pretty royal yellow flowers are what cherry blossoms are in Tokyo.
I believe the summer season in the Penh is not complete without these pretty yellow blossoms! So you see, even these flower trees are confused about the weather.
