DAILY PHOTO: Gas Station Cambodia-style
Taken in October of 2012 near Siem Reap.
The world runs on petrol, but not all gas stations are alike. In rural Cambodia, where motor scooters are seconded by small stretch rice-tiller tractors as the primary means of conveyance, the petrol station may be a rack of soda or wine bottles or a 55 gallon drum like this one.

DAILY PHOTO: Artifacts of Torture
Taken in October of 2012 at Tuol Sleng in Phnom Penh.
The artworks high in the frame demonstrate how the otherwise nondescript implements of torture were used. These were a couple of the more disturbing exhibits at Tuol Sleng Museum. Tuol Sleng was a school that the Khmer Rouge pressed into use as a prison and center of torture.

The clock at Wat Phnom in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Taken in October of 2012.
Wat Phnom is Phnom Penh’s temple on the hill. I say “the hill” because Phnom Penh is not rife with topography, and there is just the one hill.

DAILY PHOTO: Phnom Bakhang
Taken in October of 2012.
Phnom Bakhang is at Angkor. Its hilltop location makes it a popular spot for viewing the sunset. One can walk up, or ride and elephant for a fee. However, the cost to ride an elephant to the top is relatively exorbitant (one can spend a day at elephant camp for the same amount.) I’d recommend walking, and catching an elephant ride somewhere where there aren’t so many canned tourists. The walk isn’t arduous. However, if it’s your only opportunity to squeeze in an elephant ride, then what the heck.
