This is where the hike to Machu Picchu by way of the Salkantay Pass begins. Taken in 2010.

DAILY PHOTO: It’s Time to Mow the Clock… Wait, What?
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: The Lynchburg General Store
Taken Spring 2012
During Prohibition this general store is how the Daniel family made their living. It sits on the Lynchburg town square and is now mostly a souvenir shop. The distillers proudly proclaim that they only use each barrel once because by then the peak of it’s color and flavor attributes are used up. So there are a lot of barrels to pile up. Some of them are sold to a Canadian whisky maker that is not so finicky. A few are included in the shipment to people who buy a whole barrel’s worth of whisky. Others get turned into anything imaginable and sold. They appear as garbage cans, decorative walls, containers, etc. The one thing they don’t sell in the shop is whiskey, because–ironically–it’s a dry county.

Why an Oktoberfest pic in May? I don’t know. Maybe it’s Friday and I’m thinking of cold beer.

DAILY PHOTO: Trabant 601-E with Optional Roof Keg
Taken in the Summer of 2011.
It’s a monumental challenge for a police officer to spot an open container unless the offender happens to be driving the wrong way down the sidewalk backwards while asleep, or one’s car is wrapped around a telephone pole upside-down. However, if you get the Keg-o-matic 2000 dispensing system installed on your car, are you really guilty of having an open container? The hose that attaches the device to one’s lips is the only part actually inside the car.
NOTE: This blog neither condones nor celebrates driving while intoxicated. I just thought this car, which I saw in rural Hungary near the border with Slovakia, was amusing.

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.
