A short drive out of the city of Battambang offers views of rolling hills and rice paddies. We drove to Phnom Sampeau, a hillside temple host to fantastic vistas of the valley below. Three kind and quiet monks and a few buddhist nuns reside at the temple.
While the beauty of this place was overwhelming, nothing prepared me for what lay below. The temple watches over series of natural caves thatwere once host to ceremonies of apsara dancers. In the time of the Khmer Rouge, they became Killing Caves. Innocent people were bludgeoned before being thrown through the natural skylight onto the cave floor below. I was told they only recently cleaned the years of blood off of the reclining golden Buddha at the base of the cave. It is now a place of memorial for those murdered during the genocide.
It seems that nearly everywhere you go in this country, you are met with a stack of bones. Skulls that stare at you as if to say, share this feeling with others, and pray this never happens again.

Kamboja and Bougainvillea
I’m learning all the names of the flowers I photographed in Cambodia so that I am able to compile a photo book.
Last Fall, Margie got married. She walked down the aisle to this song. This was recorded a few nights before on Frenchman St. Some street musicians just happened to be singing her song, we joined in.

Kamping Poy - I was thankful that I learned about the lake’s grim history AFTER I spent a glorious afternoon there. It was such a calm, peaceful place. At the time, I thought it was one of the few places in Cambodia who’s history was not covered in the blood spilt by the Khmer Rouge. I was horrifically mistaken.
This place was just one of the many projects created by the Khmer Rouge that would attempt to rocket this nation back to the 11th century. 10,000 Cambodians died from being over worked in the creation of a dam that would recreated an irrigation system used in ancient times.
If you stick to the dining platforms and the boat tour of the lake, it makes for a wonderful weekend destination if you’re based in Battambang. The calm lake waters and the friendly boat drivers are a pleasent part of escaping the city.
A big part of getting to know Cambodia is learning that the horrifying history of one of the world’s bloodiest revolutions will follow you everywhere you go in this country. The face of modern Cambodia has deep scars from that past, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t smile.
I’ve been missing New Orleans more than usual of late. This city is truly like no other. A city of dreams and strange sights. It is one of my favorite cities on earth.
