"I spent the better part of the afternoon stalking monks and came across these two gentlemen having a discussion of some sort. next thing I knew we were engaged in a conversation and I just snapped away." Taken by Julian B Ho in Cambodia

Afternoon bath

It was late afternoon and I was en route to Angkor Wat when I came across these bunch of kids just swimming and playing in the surrounding moat. Being a hot day, it was no surprise when further up the road, similar scenes emerged. Stueng Saen, Kampong Thum, Cambodia. Taken by Julian B Ho

Lightning Storm over Tonle Sap

"I met some people who worked at the Temple Bar on Pub Street. They invited me to this place along Tonle Sap after work. As the evening descended, I witnessed this amazing lightning storm (sans thunder) in the background whilst boats went past...

This was totally random". Cambodia. Taken by Julian B Ho

Pit Stop

"These bikes belonged to a Cambodian family. It was a public holiday the day we visited the temples, so there were lots of local families there. This family was having a picnic a few metres to my right". Taken by Megan C

Blue Sky Eyes

"Buddhist nun: My 19-year-old son, Gavin and I met this peaceful vision of a soul amid the ruins in the main temple at Angkor Wat, Seim Reap, Cambodia. It was June of 2005, exactly two years before she would pass away. We were awed by her pure joy and beauty, deeply moved by the love she radiated. She doesn't own a cell phone or a credit card or a car or a checking account. She was barefoot (we later wondered if she even owned a pair of shoes). We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering through those ancient ruins, wet from the weight of the Cambodian sun, smiling and singing All You Need is Love. It was one of the very best days of my life". Taken by Annie Link
