Die #Nikkormat FT ist eine spannende alte Nikon der prä-AI #Hasenohren Zeit. Aber besonders spannend ist das 43-86, von dem manch böse Zungen behaupten, es wäre das mit Abstand schlechteste #Nikkor, das je gebaut wurde und ganz alleine Schuld am schlechten Ruf _aller_ #ZoomObjektive. Unfair, finde ich, war es doch in den frühen 70ern eines ersten - wenn nicht das erste - massenproduzierte #Normalzoom überhaupt. Kein Wunder, dass es ein paar Kinderkrankheiten hatte. (Also, einige. Viele. Alle.) 😂

An #AnalogPhoto for #WindowFriday / #FensterFreitag from my travel to #Japan. I found this small shop on one of the streets of #Kyoto, when walked randomly trying to evade too busy streets. Since Kyoto is one large touristic spot, it was rather difficult, 😅 but I tried my best.

This image shows a storefront with a large window and an orange lower section. The window displays the text "Ramble Tone" in large white letters, with "Guitar Craft & Repair" in smaller white letters beneath it. Inside the window, several guitars (one light-colored, one dark, and one red) are mounted on the wall, along with what seem to be a red amplifier and small items on a shelf. To the left of the window is a black door; to the right is an open doorway. The building’s exterior is light gray, with a black window frame. The sidewalk and street are visible at the bottom of the image.

“No food after midnight, no water, and stay away from bright light"

The monkeys at Phnom Bros temple are, like most temple monkeys throughout SEA, very used to humans. So much that they tend to be more domesticated than wild animals.

Cheeky troublemakers
These banana-crazed pig-tailed macaques are also quite the personalities, for good and bad. Keeping a distance, especially to their children, is highly recommended.

Unless you want trouble comparable to a mass attack of gremlins.

These monkeys are small, but they are strong and have sharp teeth. So, there is no use try picking a fight expecting to win.

Small gene pools
Another challenge for these monkeys is the few members in some of the local group. That is causing problems with inbreeding due to small gene pools.

First time I visited Phnom Bros there were some extreme examples of what happens when inbreeding Habsburger-style happens. To use a European example of what happens when science is lacking.

Three years later this inbreeding problem was mostly gone. And the monkey numbers were visibly larger. The Khmer caretakers of these animals are smarter than the Habsburgers. They make sure the monkeys are healthier, playing their part in these important cultural heritage sites.

I like that the monkeys also add some personality when visiting. Like the pose of Stripey here.

The Khmer female advantage
Phnom Bros and Phnom Srei are twin temples between Kampong Cham and Kampong Thom. They play an important role in the cultural history of Cambodia when it comes to engagements.

And why it is the man who must seek the lady and her family’s approval of engagement and marriage at the lady's home.

Photo shows a Macaque monkey sitting on an old concrete side rail with Khmer holy text written in. It is half turned and looking at the viewer with a sort of expectant mooch. It has the greybrownblonde fur typical of its species, but at the top of its head there is a visible dark black stripe contrasting the rest of the fur. In the background there are tree trunks and branches with green leaves. It is a bright, sunny day and both the animal and the trees are backlighted by the sun. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor, Kampong Cham and Kampong Thom warmly welcome visitors.

Herbstlaub
autumn leaves

Canon R6 mit meinem altem Micro-NIKKOR 55 mm 2.8 AI-S von 1982, welches nach wie vor wunderschöne Bilder liefert.
Leider konnte ich, während ich den Hang hinunterrutschte, nicht so scharf stellen, wie es das Objektiv könnte.

Canon R6 with my old Micro-NIKKOR 55 mm 2.8 AI-S from 1982, which still delivers beautiful images.
Unfortunately, as I slide down the slope, I can't focus as sharply as the lens could. :)

Modern colourful Lolei pagoda

The original, classic Khmer temple Prasat Lolei was placed on an island in an artificial water basin. It was the royal family temple in Hariharalaya. That was the last capital outside what we now recognise as the core Angkor Archaeological Park area around Angkor Thom north of Siem Reap.

The water is gone, but the four old temple towers are still there. Around the old temple grounds, a modern Buddhist monastery was built and still operating.

A modern Wat and Temple
The monks here were quite interested in talking to visitors, seeking information and some of them loved to practice their English. And some German too, come to that.

This photo is from inside the modern Buddhist temple, which is among the heaviest colourful temples I have seen in the Siem Reap area. But it is also very open to the sun light, making it a place of worship filled with light and colours.

I like religious buildings with this sort of character.

Under a hundred meter away, the 1100 years older holy towers connect the old and new continuous cultural history and heritage of Cambodia.

Photo shows a very colourful inside of a Buddhist Pagoda at Lolei in Roluos Group, Siem Reap. Strong red, yellow, orange and gold colours illustrates the pillars, walls and the central altar with a Buddha sculpture. The roof is painted with blue colours with motives collected from stories of the Buddhas life and the supporting figures. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor and Siem Reap welcomes visitors. Enjoy your visit to the Kingdom of Wonder.

No free lunch.
But the view and surroundings are worth paying for.

Along the road to Tonlé Sap Lake, Cambodia, the rice fields, open farmland and wetland give a splendid outlook. It makes for a very relaxing area to have lunch. Several places along the road have these sheds with straw roofs. They offer cool shade, fresh air, Khmer food and drinks - and hammocks.

In the background to the left here is Phnom Krom, or Kraom/Krom hill. This sacred hill marks the normal highest water mark for the Tonlé Sap north towards Siem Reap at the end of green season.

The east side of the hilltop is a popular spot for younger Khmer and Khmer families for evening picnics. Along the road up to the hilltop, there are plenty of small places offering picnic mats and street food and drinks. The view from those places is partly sunset over Tonle Sap, and mostly peaceful sunset over the farmland and rice fields.

The hill tops temple trio
Phnom Krom is one of the spots near Siem Reap where both sunrise and sunsets can be enjoyed. It has a modern wat, temple and monastery, on the northwest top slope. That is on the right side of the hill in this photo. There are remains of a trio tower temple, Prasat Phnom Krom, in Mebon style at the west top point of the hill.

Prasat Phnom Krom is the southernmost of three hilltop temples built at the same time around year 900 CE. The two others are Phnom Bakheng and Phnom Bok. These three hills form a sacred triangle encapsulating core parts of Angkor Park and Siem Reap city.

It is a 30 minute bike ride out of Siem Reap.

Photo shows a small artificial lake surrounded by rice fields. In the front there are three simple wooden sheds placed on pillars out in the lake with small wooden bridges from a track along a green covered dyke. The sheds have straw roofs. There is a floor with room for a small group within each shed- In the background several similar sheds are placed with access from the dykes. In the far background to the left there is a larger hill. Some forest marks the border of the lake and rice fields. It is a sunny day, and the sky is deep blue with some light white clouds creating a lively effect. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor and Siem Reap welcomes visitors. Enjoy your visit to the Kingdom of Wonder.

Flip phone power!

Hot off the press! When I started driving tours nearly a decade ago I was required to get a cell phone to be able to call for help on tours, prior to that I did without a phone for 5 years. There were plenty of old guys back then who didn't want a smart phone but over the years they joined the dark side; now only Kid Carson and I are left. Ironically, if I break down somewhere on tours, I rarely have cell service.

Peaceful at the border in Anlong Veng

The countryside in the north of Cambodia is very pretty. Add in this man-made lake and enjoy animals going on with their peaceful business in the setting sun.

There is more modern history in this small border town of Anlong Veng than you would expect. I have visited this place several times to see and learn.

But I always take some time to contemplate and enjoy the outlook by this lake.

Not so peaceful history
Anlong Veng in Oddar Meanchey Province is a typical small town in Northern Cambodia. It is close to the mountain ridge marking the border to Thailand’s Isaan region.

The artificial lake was constructed by the KR cadre Ta Mok to regulate the local river to reduce flooding. And making a tremendous view from his villa complex northwest of the lake. Pol Pot was said to spend a lot of time there during the later years of his civil wars before and after the peace accords. There are work going on to make the house complex into a museum of KR activities and destructive time ruling the country.

Photo shows a lake with several small inlets. A cow is grazing in one of them. In the background there are a framing forest with some buildings. It is the afternoon of a sunny day with blue sky with some light clouds. The setting sun gives a warm colour to the photo. Cambodia is as safe and kind as ever. Angkor and Siem Reap welcomes visitors. Enjoy the Kingdom of Wonder.

Fishing in the warm colours of the afternoon sun

Solitude and practical use of this man-made lake north of Anlong Veng. What a contrast and perspective from the last decades of history in this area. But still a crossroad border town worth a visit.

Sunset fishing and grazing
Anlong Veng in Oddar Meanchey Province is a typical small town in Northern Cambodia, close to the natural ridge marking the border to Thailand’s Isaan region.

The countryside in the north of Cambodia is very pretty in itself. Add in a lake, some people and animal going on with their peaceful business in the setting sun. It turns incredible beauty.
