There’s a boy waiting to cross the road.

Driving in Phnom Penh requires all your five senses and ESP. You’ll never predict what’s going to happen. Other vehicles come at you in all directions possible and pedestrians just jump right in front of you.

This boy crossed the road only a few metres away from an oncoming Land Cruiser. Luckily, the driver managed to step on the break just in the nick of time. From where I stood I saw the driver, an expat, raised his hands in exasperation. Ahhh, the what ifs.

One must have the steel of nerves to drive in this country.

APAD 357: Daymoon

Every now and then, when I walk my dogs every morning, the moon is pretty much visible.

The moon is visible during the day for most of the month.

Why can we see the moon during daytime? According to this site:

The reason we can see the moon at all is because it reflects sunlight from its surface. The reason you can see it during the day is because it just happens to be in the part of its orbit where it is both in the sky and reflecting enough light for you to see. You might have noticed the closer to the horizon, the more moon you see during the day.

From now on, I’ll start paying attention to the sky and get ready with my camera. Who knows what else I might see up in the sky? 🙂 For more SkyWatch photos worldwide, click this logo below.

It is supposed to be the monsoon season here in Cambodia but the sun is still up and shining and the weather so hot and dry. So we thought that we might as well take advantage of the good weather, right? That’s right, and we went kite-flying again. Here’s our delta flying high in the glorious cloud-filled sky.
