The aurora was just bright enough to be seen here at the airport, so I thought I would put something a bit different in the foreground.
I sat on the couch, resting on cushions, reading "Something Borrowed" by Emily Giffin, and ate a bowl of Oatmeal Crisp Triple Berry cereal :P
Blythe Physical Challenge #20 - Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
Old - victorian water pump in the street where people would have gotten their water for their houses and their animals in the olden days. When I was little, if you pumped hard enough you could still get water out of it but it's all muddied and blocked up now so I don't think it would still work.
New - rubber chicken arrived in the mail from Canada yesterday (thank you Juliet!) and new dress (never worn) I picked up at the supermarket
Borrowed - Daphne borrowed my Hello Kitty handkerchief to wear on her head in order to keep the hair out of her eyes on this windy day. Yes it is a clean handkerchief :-)
Blue - Daphne's blue trousers, blue eyes and blue coat.

Old architecture dominates all over Sintra. I guesstimated the house is from the mid 1800's, from the color of the tile and other embellishments on the exterior.

From the August 2016 return trip to Siem Reap and the Angkor complex:
I love the Angkor complex, Siem Reap, and the Cambodian people so much that I returned again for about a week to photograph as much of the “non-major” sites as I could. Some of them are slightly far from Angkor Wat (by that, I mean to say more than 10 kilometers away), and usually require a little more money to get to. Also, some of the sites (Beng Mealea, Phnom Kulen) are not included in the Angkor ticket price and have an additional admission fee.
I don’t know if there’s a set number of how many sites belong in the Angkor complex, though I’m sure it would vary. (Do you only count the major sites like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm? Do you add the sites that aren’t included in the standard “Angkor Pass,” but are clearly of the same era? Do you include sites that aren’t even named (as are one of the sites in this series)? All in all, I’ll put a very rough number at…50 sites in the Siem Reap area, and that includes the sites that are about 100 km away. Of those, I would say I’ve been to all but 5-10 now. All are included here with the exception, obviously, of the sites that I didn’t visit. (Off the top of my head, I can say they include Koh Ker & that respective group, which is about 120 km ENE of Siem Reap; Phnom Krom, one of the three “mountains” with temples; Ta Prohm Kel; and Mangalartha.)
In practical terms, I’m afraid that with the volume of shooting (about 1,500 frames in the past 7 days), photos will start to look redundant to those who don’t have the same interest in ancient/historical architecture or Angkor as I do. That being said, there are a few things besides temples here. The Old Market area (now Night Market/Pub Street) is represented – a little – and Phnom Kulen has a pretty nice waterfall which is also in this series. Also, I tried to catch a few people in here, though didn’t get as many as I would’ve liked.
I had my friend Mao (tuktuk driver) take me around for 5 of these 7 days this time around. As I mentioned last time, he may cost a little more than what you can arrange through a hotel/guesthouse, but he’s well worth the money (and, in the grand scheme of things, not too expensive; I paid less than $200 for the five days, two of which were “long” trips). He loves his country and heritage, he knows what he’s showing you, he’s flexible, he gives you enough ice water to keep you hydrated, and he’s just a good guy. (He even bought me a birthday cake for cryin’ out loud…) Anyway, I highly recommend Mao. You can find him here: www.facebook.com/mao.khvan (or on Trip Advisor: www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g297390-d10726821-R... )
Now that shameless plugs and other assorted rhetoric are out of the way, it’s time to get on to the temples, ruins, and other miscellany.
The third full day back in Siem Reap was just revisiting sites that we’d seen in May. It started, for the second day in a row, sometime before five in the morning to go see a sunrise-that-wasn’t. (If I thought yesterday’s at Sra Srang was a stretch to call it good, then today’s was…well…it wasn’t. I didn’t even bother taking the cameras or tripod out.)
This trip around the small circuit was almost identical to the one we did in May. As such, I didn’t actually get out and shoot at every single stop this time like I did last time. The sunrise started at the exact same spot outside the Angkor Wat western gate. However, instead of touring the grounds briefly as we did in May, we actually left quite early from Angkor Wat to head over in caravan (three tuktuks, as today happened to be with a group of eight other people) to Ta Prohm around 7:00, after eating breakfast at a nearby restaurant.
While at Ta Prohm, I wandered around on my own (which I tried to do whenever possible while Mao was entertaining the group) for about an hour. I regretted having left my tripod in the tuktuk (as I did in May, too; it seems idiots never learn). However, I got out the P&S and managed to shoot quite a few of the apsaras, at least.
From Ta Prohm, we crossed the street due south to Banteay Kdei, where I passed on shooting. It’s not a major temple and I shot it fairly well in May. The only difference this time is, instead of coming in the east gate next to Sra Srang, they went in the west gate due south of Ta Prohm’s east gate. After a bout of restlessness, I did eventually get out and shot one or two frames of the west gate just as they were finishing up.
Next up was Ta Keo, one of the “mountain temples,” which we’d also seen in May. In May, however, it was close to 40 degrees Celsius with a blazing sun and I didn’t feel like climbing the rather steep stairs to the upper level. So, I intentionally did that immediately upon returning here this time. The view from the top isn’t terribly stunning. Just trees in most every direction, though you’re around the level of the treetops. Climbing down while lugging a tripod and camera gear was a bit challenging, though – especially since I’m not as spry as I once was. (For that reason alone, and knowing how steep the climb – albeit short – and how narrow the steps are on the upper mount, I intentionally abandoned the group to get a head start.)
The next two stops – Thommanon & Chao Say Tevoda, followed by the Victory Gate – I skipped, as I knew they were very quick stops and, like May, I’d already catalogued them. The next major stop was Bayon where, again, I abandoned everyone and took the tripod to go around the outer wall shooting the murals as much as I could in an hour. By the time we finished, we headed back to the same restaurant where we had breakfast (though I was quite unimpressed; I definitely prefer Khmer Country Kitchen on the north side of Sra Srang) and we passed an hour or so eating. Around 1:45, we went back across the street to Angkor Wat, but most of the group – keep in mind, these are people 10-20 years younger than I and in much better shape – were complaining about fatigue and just wanted to go to their hotel pools or other restaurants in town. So…after a very quick run through Angkor Wat, we finally wrapped up the day around 3:00.
Heading back to My Home Tropical Garden Villa (my home away from home in Siem Reap), I grabbed a shower, rested up, and spent yet another night around the Old Market. At least Friday (my 43rd birthday) and Saturday, Mao didn’t take any customers just to make sure I could go anywhere and see anything I wanted. Though today wasn’t a bust by any means, I was definitely looking forward to Friday and Saturday.
As always, I hope you enjoy this set. I appreciate you taking time to look. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message or leave it via comment.
