Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning
West Baray is one of the huge reservoirs build during the Angkor time - the engineering, to me is quite amazing. Sokheurm thought the sunset would be nice - so off we went
How we (Sokheurm and myself) got there - by motorcycle
Then by boat - our water track
Along the way
Fishing
Harvesting rice the old fashion way
Water tower - on the last leg to the lake
Food kiosk's everywhere
Yummies
Fruit
I rented a boat (US$15) and off we went - first to an island, but there was no clear view of the sunset - so we planted ourselves in the water and watched the sunset
Sun rays
Sun rays
Sunset over the lake
We parked at an island - hopped off but decided no good photo spots
Looking out
Evening sun on the wall
Temple wall
From the water - Sunset
Sunset over the mainland
Sunset clouds
A bit later
A bit later - as the sun migrates down relative to the stationary cloud
later
Later
Sunset - without clouds
Then passing behind the mist at the horizon
Going
Going
Mostly gone
Looking back at the island from my boat
The dock
Pulling in after a sunset ride
Fishing
Tied up and going home
