APAD 323: Fishers of men
Right across the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh on the riverside is where the Mighty Mekong River and the Tonle Sap merge giving birth to the smaller Bassac River. Also in this location lies a floating fishing community that relies on this rich waters for their livelihood.
The sun is about to set while the fishermen are heading for “work”. I pray each day that they go out there, in the middle of the lake, safely and with enough catch to feed their families and to sell for extra income.
Since the ancient times – and up to this day – the Tonle Sap and Mekong River have enormous supply of fish and other aquatic resources. In the ancient times, they also served as naval battleground between the great Khmer empire and its enemies.
These days, tourists rent boats to cruise along the rivers. To cap the river cruise is the splendid sunset that is best viewed in this location.
APAD 222: Sunset over Svay Rieng
Witnessed the beauty of bewitching hour while on the road and well on our way back to the city. We are still in Svay Chrum district (Svay Rieng province) when I took this photo.

APAD 198: Sunset along the banks of Mekong
A friend of mine visited Phnom Penh recently and I met her in a hotel along Sisowath Quay. The hotel boasts of its prime location, sitting along the banks of the mighty Mekong River and is centrally located in the heart of Phnom Penh’s business and tourist districts. And here is the view from her hotel room…
It’s one of those profound moments that I love, watching the sun slowly melting into the horizon and the darkness creeping in.
