Srah Srang, the dual peaceful sunspot

An October morning bike return to Siem Reap via Srah Srang reservoir. Peaceful and far from crowdy are the qualities of this place in Angkor Park. It carried the promise of a nice, sunny day after the green season.

The Srah Srang reservoir, meaning ស្រះស្រង់, "Royal Bath", is one of those spots deserving a couple of visits. Like in the morning and in the evening. It is a place both to enjoy sunrise and sunset.

Along the reservoir on its north and southwest side there are a lot of cafes, restaurant and street food stalls. Open for both breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or for snacks and coffee breaks.

In the northwest corner, the two main routes of sightseeing of the core Angkor Park meets. This is the Angkor Park small circle of Angkor Thom, Bayon, Ta Keo and Ta Prohm temples. And the Grand Circle of Angkor Thom, Royal Palace/Leper King, Preah Khan, Neak Poan, Ta Som, East Mebon and Pre Rup.

Today Srah Srang measures 700 by 350 meter. There is a platform in the centre of the Baray, meaning there might have been a larger temple there originally. Now there is a small tower with a spire showing that location.

This reservoir and its small temple were supervised built by the only known Khmer imperial architect by name, minister and guru Kavindrarimathana to the King Rajendravarman II in approximately 950 CE. He is accepted as the main architect behind East Mebon Temple, Prasat Bat Chum and probably the first architect designing Pre Rup Temple.

Photo shows a large rectangular reservoir of water mirroring different shades of blue and some green from the surrounding trees. Nearest the photographer there are some red dirt leading up to a stone setting bordering the reservoir. There is a young boy in orange shirt sitting there, looking at the peaceful water. He sits in the shadows of a tree to the right framing the photo. Around the reservoir there is a thick forest with some taller trees. Near the middle of the water there is a small Hindu tower with a spire. The sky is mostly blue, with some lightly clouds to the south/left side.

That morning trip to Prasat Bat Chum among rich rice fields

Bat Chum Temple – ប្រាសាទបាទជុំ – is one of these off the main track sites where the travel is as interesting as the target.
There are several reasons to take a small side trip to the small Prasat Bat Chum. The beautiful entrance track among rice fields and cultural landscape is an obvious one.

It is near Prasat Kravan and close to Srah Srang reservoir. It is easily accessible both as part of and end point of a Small and Grand circuit tour of Angkor Park.

Or by mountain bike.

This morning, I met this fellow sitting near a small river trying fishing. Or simply enjoy a nice morning in the rice fields.
Good ones, either choice.

Photo shows a reddish-brown dirt track going straight through fields of rice into a small cluster of trees shielding a temple. The fields have some single trees spread out marking borders between rice paddocks. A small river is going in a culvert under the dirt track, and a man is sitting near the left side opening with a small fishing rod. It is a sunny morning with slightly warm sun and the sky is cobalt blue with some light clouds on the horizon.

13 fields and farms with Lavender in Ohio to visit this Summer - bigscoots

A good #Daytrip to round off before starting new job on Monday.

Despite the cloud coverage, it was still roasting. Back in metropolis now and it’s still roasting so just been enjoying a pre-dinner aperitif in our humble grounds discussing what colour we’d paint our castle.

#VisitScotlandWeDontDisappoint 🥳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎

Craigevar castle from a distance with some really tall trees in the foreground to the right. The pink castle stands out against the contrast of the green foliage.

A closer picture of the front door (west facing entrance)

A gargoyle covering its ears juts out near a window close to the roof line. Odd looking beast.

A shot of the castle roofline in the background with the remains of a barmekin (fort) wall in the foreground.

I saw the Buddha in the stone

The heritage from the old capital city of Chenla is still visible in the Kampong Thom area.

When it comes to the art of stonework is still kept in high regards in the modern day just south of Kampong Thom city.
Driving southeast along National Road 6 towards Kampong Cham, Skoun and Phnom Penh, you will drive along stone masonries and cement sculptures along the road. And you get to see how its done.

Like in this photo.

Photo shows a man in a stony dust cloud working on a stone sculpture with a machine tool. It is a sunny day, and the sun plays with the contrasts inside the stone dust. Around the cloud and in the background, there are some sculptures in different modes near finish. To the left there is some large trees, and far in the background there is a low building. A red fridge box is visible in the shadows under the trees.

Sunset over the great port city

The province capital of Kampong Thom province is a nice stop halfway between Phnom Penh and Siem Reab. Over the years, the city has developed in a rapid tempo, and I find it more and more interesting to visit to check on the progress.
Cradle of the Khmer Empire
The area was an important capital in the pre-Khmer era, when the Funan culture and later the capital of the Chenla Kingdom lay down the basis for the great Angkor Empire.
Today it is a logical place to stay for the surrounding cultural and historic sites, including the UNESCO heritage site Prasat Sambor Prei Kouk. This was the state temples for Chenla Kingdom from 500 to 800 CE.
A hub for communication
The buses running from the capital via National Road 6 to Siem Reap and on to the Thai border often stops here. There are lodgings available from high end to hostels, markets, shops, restaurants and cafés.
Including a couple of really nice breakfast places, traditional or modern.
Notable sites are the city centre roundabout with the Independence monument, and the elephant statues fighting two tigers. On the north side of the river lays a large, see worthy pagoda.

Photo shows an evening city centre with an Independence monument. This tower structure is a modern interpretation of more classic tower structures built during the Angkor Khmer imperial era. In the road cross around there are cars, buses, motos and people moving about in the warm sunset light and mood. There are classic French buildings and more modern city buildings. There are some construction machinery in the city. And a tall tower with cellular antennas. In the background there are a flat area rice paddock landscape broken up by trees, hedge rows and forest into a very colourful evening sunset sky.

Took a quick trip to Chaco Canyon on my way to Gallup last week. The roads weren't as bad as they have been in the past. I entered from the east (Nageezi) and headed to Gallup via the dirt road to Seven Lakes. No other vehicles on that route. #NewMexico #history #roadtrip #travel #daytrip

A panorama to a Win-win-area

This panorama from the front side of the Win-win Memorial shows the scale of the peace and recreation area.

The entire area spans 8 hectares and serves as a place of remembrance, reflection, and motivation. In addition to the central monument, there’s a separate 117-meter-long memorial wall adorned with bas-reliefs that narrate the journey toward a lasting peace after the foreign and civil wars. The site also features eight large and small water pools, a dedicated museum, several sculptures, and freshly planted trees and vegetation to create a greener park-like environment.

On the other end of the main road behind the flags the new big arena/stadium was being built. The new Morodok Techo National Stadium/arena was built to host sports event follow international rules for size and dimensions.
After it was finished, it has hosted various major international sporting event. Including the Asia Games. Additionally, this versatile arena can be used for concerts and exhibitions.

The memorial is located two metric miles north of the capital city Phnom Penh. The Win-Win Memorial, or វិមានឈ្នះឈ្នះ (Vĭméan Chhneăh Chhneăh) in Khmer, marks the end of over 30 years of civil wars and two decades of relatively successful transition to a peaceful society. The memorial was inaugurated in December 2018.

This photo was taken during a visit 8 weeks after the inaugural in 2019.

Photo shows a wide panorama from the platform where the main stele is placed, towards the main road. On the other side of the road, there is a large arena being built. The platform has three main levels, with wide stairs to walk up between them. On the side of the stairs there are wide flowerbeds, a bit dry in this early photo. Two tall lampposts with floodlights meant for nighttime decorative lights of the monument. On the ground square there are a two guardian Naga-statues in classic design where their tails are rails framing in the main platform. Two statues are visible on the main square, together with one person on the other site of the square there are more flower beds, and two sets of flagpoles with the national flag and the Buddhist flag. The background is a light blue sky with a few scattered clouds.

Overgrown tools of war in peace park

A notable feature in the Win-Win Memorial is a separate Peace Park south of the main monument.
Military equipment such as fighter jets, armoured vehicles, cannons, and tanks is displayed, surrounded and slowly engulfed by trees and plants that will eventually envelop the war machines.
A simple, yet powerful message.
The Win-Win Memorial or វិមានឈ្នះឈ្នះ (Vĭméan Chhneăh Chhneăh) in Khmer, marks the end of over 30 years of civil wars and two decades of relatively successful transition to a peaceful society. The memorial was inaugurated in December 2018.
This Memorial is located two miles north of the capital city Phnom Penh.
The photos shown here are from my visit with Khmer friends in February 2019, six weeks after the inauguration.
Photos show a MIG- 21 “Fishbed” supersonic fighter, an early Soviet-era T-55 MBT and a 105 mm towed light howitzer field canon.
