Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

The ride to the school on Sokheurn's motorcycle

May 24, 2015: Visit to Kompheim Village

This morning, after sunrise photos, a small jumping spider appeared in the room - a perfect opportunity to capture a few macro images

On the back of Sokheurn's motorcycle - we started toward Kompheim Village - passing new rice fields - where the variation in green is simply without words

One of the fascinating construction strategies is that of recycling plastics to serve as an insulation in the walls as shown here.

And end of trip. I get great pleasure in viewing the variety of colors seen in the local farming communities. Rice makes so many shades of green
