Landscapes and cities in Cambodia

by Free man

After the portraits of Khmer people ( who are the most amazing "spot" of this Country ) you had the occasion to look at on this website, here are more shots to show how Cambodian cities and landscapes look. Cambodian landscapes are not the most flabbergasting in the World and may even look a bit repetitive with all those rice fields spreading as far as the eye can see. Nevertheless, the under developped industry left a nature completely pure that a foreigner will have the occasion to discover though jungles, coasts, hills or ... (more)

I was 15 years old when the Khmer Rouge overtook my country. I spent 5 years in a work camp. Your photos bring back many memories, both good and sad. I thank you for capturing my country in your magnificent photographs...

Hello friend, You are a great journalist with so many good photos of the rural area of this country and its lifestyle.You are a good traveller.Best wishes from Gaojun

I agree wonderful photos you have here. Some are very startling. It's hard to imagine the lifestyle - yet you bring it to life in such a full way.

The sianoukville girl does have a smartness about her! great shot! The Bokor Casino moments you captured are probably my favorite. The fog adds a certain appeal and that front shot you caught with the greenery is wonderful,as well as, the upper floor. The bamboo train driver looks the most relaxed out of anyone - great color.

You have a real talent. Thanks for sharing the stories and photos of your journies.
