This was taken at one of the Angkor Wat temples, during a filming session. The filmmakers hired several monks to pose on what I believe to be the steepest steps of any of the temples.

Nice snaps. I love the mix of Khmer (?), Chinese and English on the signs. I don't take nearly enough travel snapshots. Should do more...

Your horizons are tilted a lot, and not just on the river pics either :-P

Thanks. Yeah, keeping the camera horizontal was a challenge sometimes, a lot of the photos were taken from the bus, and sometimes I was snapping pictures while trying to keep up with the tour guide. And maybe it was also the drugs. ;-)

And what was apparently a huge NO DURIAN sign (the red X over a color drawing of the fruit), very clear. We ate one out on our porch once, and man! Those things really do stink. But tasty.

I'd heard about the bans on them in hotels. And once we tried it, whoa, it made sense. I'm assuming I'm right about the sign.
