A peculiarly Cambodian type of tuk-tuk where there is an actual trailer. Very handy if something gets a flat - as mine did.

Some few shots from the temple complex at Angkor
The sun seems always very bright and the inside hot and airless but colorful

A Buddhist nun watches over some of the areas where offerings are made. I couldn't bring myself to actually light incense sticks but I put some funds in the box and she smiled and we almost held hands.

this area was made famous in the Lara Croft movie which was partially filmed here - an interesting proposition to get equipment, generators and cables to this spot.

The trailer on my moto had a flat and the driver went off to get another tire. When the locals saw me as a person in distress rather than a potential customer for tourist knickknacks, they pulled me into the shade, brought me a chair and a cold drink.

This little girl came to look at the large, pink person with a mustache.

It is totally impossible to visit places like this and not come away with an indelible mark on one's heart.

Me, too.
I hope to go to Myanmar in January

I notice that low challenge shots like these get much more response than anything I might post that is more 'difficult.'
 
I'm just a big fan of ancient civilization and travel photography ;)
