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 fifth day (and last time I’ll see Mao unless I go back to Siem Reap again) started just the same as my birthday. Chhiengmai brought me a ham & cheese omelette at the hotel, then Mao picked me up and off we went.
Following the same route to Banteay Kdei, we took a right and headed out on the grand loop. The first stop was at Pre Rup, which I’d seen in May, but wanted to photograph again this time around. I love the May shots because it’s in afternoon light, so there are some nice silhouette shots in there. This time, however, was early morning. We didn’t shoot as extensively as we did in May; only staying on the eastern side of the temple and not ascending it. Still, it’s a rather striking temple and worth seeing, even with the restoration that looks as if it hasn’t been touched since May – and didn’t look like it was being touched then, either.
Pre Rup is on the southeast corner of the Grand Loop. From there, continue north. Right before you reach East Mebon is a road going east. (This is the road that would lead you to Banteay Samré if taken straight, or Banteay Srei, Phnom Kulen, and Kbal Spean, if you turn left at the first intersection about 1 kilometer east from here.)
Our second destination, though, was Phnom Bok. To reach here, continue east on the aforementioned road – pass Banteay Samré – taking the first left, then continuing north about 5-10 minutes. All in all, it’s about 20 minutes from the Grand Loop road.
Having seen snow-capped mountains enough in my life, I chuckle to call these mountains instead of hills. However, Angkor is in a large plain, as you can see in these pictures, so any hill looks like a mountain. In the same breath, these aren’t baby hills.
Mao’s wife and daughter stayed with the tuktuk while we went clambering up the hill. I was giving Mao a good ribbing about him not being my friend for making me climb a mountain in tropical heat, but it really wasn’t too bad. He said, “there are only 100 stairs to the top!” I laughed and said there’s no way that’s a mountain then. We walked up a hill for about five minutes before getting to the bottom of the staircase on the south side of the mountain that goes to the summit. He still insisted it was only 100 steps. I counted, just for fun. Turns out, there are 626 steps, give or take one, to the top of the hill and, even when you get to the top, you still have to climb up…a little farther.
As I mentioned, though, it wasn’t a bad climb. The first 400 or so steps are forested, so you’re in shade, though it’s hot and humid. After that, the views of the surrounding plains open up which are quite nice. Mostly, you can see to the south or southeast. I couldn’t see any of the main temples which would be southwest from here. (I couldn’t see them from the peak when looking southwest, though, either…)
At the top of Phnom Bok, there’s a little shelter/rest area where you can sit and buy ice cold drinks. There’s a new Hindu temple up there, and also the ruins of an Angkor-era temple. Sadly, there are also remnants of the Khmer Rouge era, too; machine gun mounts and the like, surrounding the temple.
After 30-45 minutes on the mountaintop, we went back down and I was glad to have a rest in the tuktuk while we made our way back to the Grand Loop. It was a good chance to rest up and enjoy the scenery (in addition to waving like a fool at every passerby as I’m wont to do).
Upon returning to the Grand Loop road, we made a quick right heading north for about 200 meters to the East Mebon. In May, we stopped here, but didn’t do anything other than climb the main stairs, take a few shots, and head off to lunch. (We were tired by that point.)
Because of that, I told Mao I wanted to take time to extensively go around the East Mebon. It’s a surprisingly nice temple mount. (I don’t know how the West Mebon compares; unlike this one, there is still water in the west baray, and I didn’t go out there.) All told, Mao and I wandered our separate ways here for about half an hour or so. I got back to the tuktuk right before one of the daily summer downpours. Mao was stuck out in the rain, but had my backpack, P&S, and umbrella, so was fine.
After a 5-10 minute rest, a Coke and a smile later, the four of us went back on our way around the Grand Loop continuing clockwise. We bypassed Ta Som (which I’d shot well enough in May) and stopped for a very quick shoot at Prasat Krol Ko. This is a very small temple built in the late 12th and early 13th century by Jayavarman VII. It looks like many of the other temples, so most don’t stop here as it’s not terribly interesting. It’s a temple surrounded by two concentric enclosures, in the Bayon style, and rather small. However, it’s near Neak Pean and Preah Khan, so there’s no reason not to stop. This is a Hindu (I believe) temple, as it’s named/dedicated to a cow. I enjoyed it.
The next stop – Neak Pean – was less than two minutes down the road. (Again, no reason not to stop at both. Neak Pean (sometimes spelled “Neak Poan” and pronounced “neek poh-an”) is architecturally different than most of the other sites, as is the setting. Neak Pean is a cruciform arrangement of ponds that centers on a sanctuary tower on a circular island in the middle. Currently, access is limited and you can’t go all the way around it. You approach from the north over a boardwalk – this crosses over the Jayatataka baray, which offers some nice panoramic views of Phnom Bok about 5 kilometers to the east – and finally arrive at the north end of the monument. You can walk around either side to the eastern and western corners, but can go no farther. There are (were) four different sculpted animals on each of the four small ponds around the sanctuary. Eavesdropping a tour guide, he said the four ponds represent earth, air, fire, and water. I had read somewhere what the four animals were, but can’t seem to find that information now. I was very pleased with this stop, too, mainly because it offered a little variety.
After the nice stroll over the boardwalk back to the tuktuk, we continued heading west. At the turn off for Preah Khan (which I skipped this time since we spent a bit of time here in May), there are also two other nearby, rarely visited temples: Banteay Prei and Prasat Prei. These are immediately north of Preah Khan on the outside of the Loop road. Preah Khan is about 200 meters south on the inside of the loop. Neither of these two temples are listed in either LP Cambodia or my Ancient Angkor guidebook, so I unfortunately can’t tell you a thing about them, but would venture to say they were probably built by Jayavarman VII…but, that’s pure conjecture. They were both rather nice to see, and in a fair state of decomposition, so it lent to nice photography. As they are so close to Preah Khan, again…I don’t see why you wouldn’t visit here. You can see both temples in about 20 minutes without going out of your way to do so.
The next stop on today’s private tour is Krol Romeas. This is a very unassuming structure that is less than five minutes outside the North Gate of Angkor Thom. I’m a little confused about what “romeas” means. At first Mao’s wife told me it meant sheep. Then I believe she said it meant hippopotamus. Either way, this structure was an animal pen for one of those. Given the size and depth, I’ll say hippo enclosure is probably correct. Currently, it’s just a very nice setting in the forest. It’s a round enclosure about 20 meters in diameter, just east of the Grand Loop road.
After Krol Romeas, our next stops were the remaining (for me) gates of Angkor Thom: first, the North Gate for a very quick shoot, then down to Bayon and due west on a relaxing, rarely traveled road to the West Gate. The West Gate is supposed to be the one in the most pristine (unrestored) state, though I thought it looked fine. The setting was good.
By this time, it was getting to be early afternoon, probably around 4:00. The next – and last – stop of the day was south of town, away from the majority of Angkor sites. Going south from the Night Market area of Siem Reap along the river, there are two sites of interest: The main one Is the third of the “major” hills – Phnom Krom. This is supposed to be a nice place to see the sunset. However, from having climbed Phnom Bok earlier in the day, I wasn’t inclined to go here, though it was on my original “wish list” that I gave to Mao. Instead, we just went to the other temple in the area: Wat Athvea (sometimes also written Athwea). This is a very tranquil temple and is great in the late afternoon. It’s attached to a functioning monastery, but isn’t noisy. There is a pagoda built on the site of an ancient temple here. What you see here is a 12th century Hindu temple. There is a cemetery adjacent, but that’s not included in this set.
Upon finishing for the day, Mao dropped me back off at my guesthouse. This would be the last time I saw Mao on this trip, though his wife and daughter insisted on taking me to the airport on Tuesday, so I would see them one more time. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Mao’s a good man (Cambodian Mao, that is…)
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.
Ceremonial Armors for Man and Horse
Chinese, Qing dynasty, 18th century
The man's armor, known as dingjia (armor with nails) , is a very elaborate example of the military costume worn at the imperial court by high-ranking officials in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It consists of a jacket with sleeves and an ankle length skirt constructed of narrow overlapping plates riveted inside the fabric layers with the securing rites head visible on the outside. Some of these plates of brightly polished are exposed on the arms and shirt. Although not intented foir use in battle, the jacket is future reinforced with large shoulder pieces , panels under the arms and a small panel of similar construction that covers the lower abdomen. This fashion thus combines the warrior's practical but usually plain armor and the ceremonial robes often worn over it. This example is embroidered with gold and colorful silk threads in traditional designs of dragons and waves. The delicately engraved and gilt steel plates at the shoulders repeat these motifs. The helmet is surmounted by a crest of sable tails, coral, and kingfisher feathers mounted with cloissonne enamels. The horse armor has no internal plates but merely the rivets heads to give the outward appearance of armor.
Unique features and practical amenities are packed into a modest footprint in this one-story home plan. Columns lead to the cathedral great room, which is open to the island kitchen and dining room. The secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and each enjoy private porch access. Designed for enjoying Mother Nature, a covered porch wraps the rear of the home plan, ending at the cozy screen porch with fireplace, skylights, and summer kitchen. The master suite includes an oversized walk-in closet and an incredible rotunda sitting room filled with windows. *Photographed home may have been modified from the original construction documents.* www.dongardner.com/house-plan/1318/the-keaton

There was a story making the rounds through the car blogs a few months ago about a camera company that was looking to build a camera car capable of keeping up with various supercars. They ended up using a Lamborghini Huracán.
"We had thought about using an Audi R8 V10 Plus, but that wouldn’t get us low enough to the ground and wasn’t agile enough, even though they’re pretty similar cars"
The duo also said the Ferrari FF was briefly considered for its ability to hold more production crew, but it would have lacked most of the benefits of the lower and more capable Huracan.
In other words, these folks did their research, thought long and hard, and decided, for what had to be the first time in history, that a Lamborghini was the practical choice.
around 7 a.m. before the flag ceremony, young kids are "required" to sweep the school yard with "walis-tingting." Walis-tingting is a broomstick made with the ribs of coconut leaves tied in a bundle.
This is the way things were when I was a kid. And apparently, it still is...

A practical guide for writing a business plan for your great business idea. Business Plan Template: How to Write a Business Plan helps entrepreneurs communicate their business idea to investors, lenders and partners.
Business Plan Template includes an outline and discussion of the major parts of any good business plan including the types of business plans, the business planning process, the overall business plan template, the organization, the marketing plan and financial analysis. It includes a free sample business plan for use with your business.
Whether you need to know how to write a business plan for a home business or a high tech government contracting venture; this book will show you how because the basics of writing a business plan are the same. Forget the theory and management jargon. If you want to know how to write a plan to start a small business in the real world, this book is for you! Entrepreneurship is hard and many famous entrepreneurs have tried and failed when their ideas for new businesses didn't work out. Take your idea, develop your business model and put it into writing using Chris' system to launch your business. Get in business and get profitable, quick!
Here Mr. Sludden demonstrates the practical process behind the manufacture of a simple thermoplastic clock.
He starts by cuting out the template from stiff card. He then transfers the design onto the back of the acrylic that has had a layer of masking tape applied. A biro or black pencil can be used. It is important that the line is clearly visable.
Next he demonstrates cutting methods using the coping saw and fret or scroll saws. Note his position in relation to the workpiece in these examples.
Next, edge finishing techniques. Start by selecting the appropriate file. Flat, half-round or round are appropriate here. Begin by cross filing then use drew filing to complete this stage. Then choose coarse [180 grit] then fine [400 grit] silicon carbide or wet & dry abrasive papers to smooth the edges further. Complete by applying a metal[!] polish like Brasso or T-Cut to really polish the edge.
Next assembly. We used double sided tape here because the surfaces are not load bearing. In other designs we would recommend Acrylic Cement or sometimes Super Glue. These are fraught with difficulty and need careful masking for best results.
Next drill a 10mm hole to accomodate the clock mechanism. Use a step drill for best results. Clamp the workpiece to the drill table to avoid slippage.
Assemble clock mechanism using the array of components provided.
If necessary create a stand. Mr. Sludden demonstrates the use of the Strip Heater and Plastics Oven towards the end of this sequence. Attach to back of clock using cement. Mask first. Thermoplastic properties evident from photos provided.

The east window of the north aisle is dedicated to All Souls and is one of a pair of fine abstract works designed by Ceri Richards and made by Patrick Reyntiens in 1964.

Derby's parish church of All Saints was one of the last of the 'parish church cathedrals' (to form new dioceses several major city churches were upgraded and adapted to cathedral status in the early 20th century, the practical alternative to constructing new purpose built cathedrals) . It became cathedral in 1927, but owing to the war plans to enlarge the building to fit it's new status were shelved until 1972 when a new chancel and offices were built. The impression still is however that of a civic parish church, albeit an especially grand and beautiful one.
Though there has been a church here since c943, the oldest part of the present building dates to 1510-30; the west tower is a soaring landmark and one of the tallest medieval towers in the country, as well as are particularly rich example of late Perpendicular gothic, decorated with much panelling and ornament in it's upper part.
The rest of the medieval building was totally demolished and replaced in 1725 with the present classical-inspired building designed by James Gibbs and built by Francis Smith of Warwick. The nave and aisles are of equal height and flooded with light from mostly clear glazed windows and spanned by a plaster vault. Many of it's original furnishings survive, such as the fine wrought iron chancel screen by Robert Bakewell that extends across the entire width of the church, since there was no structural division between chancel and nave.
The new chancel, built to the designs of Sebastian Comper in 1972, replaced the original flat east wall with it's 'Venetian window' and adds a greater sense of space and light, though one's eye is drawn first to Comper's ciborium or baldachino over the high altar immediately in front of it.
Around the same time two striking new abstract stained glass windows were installed on either side at the east end of both aisles, designed by Ceri Richards and interpreted in glass by Patrick Reyntiens (these were to have been complement in the 1980s by further abstract glass by Brian Clarke in the round windows at the west end, but discussions came to an abrupt halt after some uncompromising language from the artist!).
There is a good collections of monuments, including a few from the previous church, most important being the grand tomb of the legendary Bess of Hardwick in the south aisle. The earliest monument is the early 16th century wooden tomb nearby of Sub Dean Johnson (the effigy is damaged but includes a fine series of weepers on the tomb chest). Other memorials of the Baroque period are also worthy of note, foremost being the Countess of Bessborough monument by Rysbrack..
Junk Jet n°3 asked for fluxing architectures, boogie, buildings, rolling rocks, flying architectures, provisory pyramids, and temporary eternities; for all kinds of practical concepts and conceptual practices, for stable happenings and unstable thoughts, for lifted cellars and dugin landmarks, for curtains, mobiles, house boats, bubbles, zeppelins, flying saucers ...
... it received fantastic forms of material, immaterial, physical and mental flux. Not only were immovables made movable, but also were put forth moving ideas of aesthetic, social, and political concern. We recognize that it is in microarchitectures, where architecture resides today, that speculations cannot be hilarious enough, and that the post-digital is the era, we already live in.
