temple out of nowhere...

ever since i came to a full realization that the project i am handling is finally finishing in three months time - i make it a point that i have my camera at hand ready to take shots of scenery that i find interesting. my point and shoot camera - canon ixus 950 IS is ever reliable.

i was seated in the front seat of the car and with a speed fluctuating between 90 and 100 kms/hr, i have to be fully alert and always on guard, ready to take shots... this afternoon... i took these shots while on our way to the province of kampot from phnom penh taking the back roads through kep city. whew, that was a 165 kms trip on rough roads.

we were cruising through endless scenery of rice fields, palm trees and irrigations (the dig and flow type - the traditional way). this is the kind of trip that somehow inspires me on what i am doing workwise for i can sense that deep inside this luscious green scenery that is so soothing to the eyes and evoking a strong sense of relaxation are communities that are considered hard to reach in terms of access to social services.

somehow as one breezes through these sceneries, it all starts to blur... but this route is really out of the ordinary - shapes of mountains from a distance triggers a sense of awe and certain scenarios juts out that jag me to grab my camera and take shots...

here are my favorites on this trip.

postscript: the second photo is the result of my crude attempt on digital manipulation.
