Cambodian highway

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| This was a moment that I captured on my way to Anchor Wat in Cambodia. Roads there are not paved and you see the weirdest carriages and transportation means people invented in their needs. It seemed almost surreal to me and was yet very real every day life of Cambodia. |

haha well.....
this is a pretty common sight in india too..
you should realise that these means of trabsportation have been existing for a long time now.. i mean centuries..
in india you get to see a lot of kids riding buffaloes too. i've never photographer any till now, but i hope i get a chance soon...
you get to see 3-4 kids sitting on a buffalo :)
i like these kind of oldish tones in colour photographs
if you ever get this kind of a scene again, don't hesitate to go even closer.. infact you could try and be amidst the herd and then take the photographs.. your vistas for composition will be much broader
take care :)
Hi Leonie, welcome to TE, an interesting dynamic shot you present here for your second shot, (though you've labelled it as B&W, and it would be interesting to add your camera to your equipment profile).
So you were on your way to Anchor on 16th, I arrived in Siem Reap on 17th, we must have been wandering around there at the same time. That very rainy day of 19th you might have spotted me, the mad Englishman riding a bicycle, and holding a red umbrella in his left hand :-)

Immagine molto suggestiva, molto caratteristica della vita della Cambogia. Una vera autostrada, viste le buone condizioni della pista!
I am looking forward to see your pictures taken of Angkor Wat.
Regards,
Thanh

This is almost as good as a painting.
