Deyana and Bixa are lucky to have large vistas of sky. My sky view is so limited. I feel hemmed in.

That is one advantage of living so far out in the hicks, Spindrift.

The hicks seem to suit me. When I howl at the moon, no one takes a blind bit of notice!

Oooooooo.
Both very beautiful, but I love the feeling in the first one.
Is that the water behind your house?

It's Lac du Bonnet (or as I like to call it Lac Dubonnet ;D)

Good grief, what an amazing display! Your pictures are gorgeous, Fumobici. I'm sitting here wishing I had one of those monster monitors, so I could blow your images up and just fall into them.

fumobici, Wow! Amazingly good photos. The colors are just enchanting. Where abouts are you?

Fantastic colors. We should all be ready with our cameras in the northern hemisphere because autumn sunsets are often the best.

Yes, those colours are great....so powerful...the reds and purples.

Real nice, nic. They look just like postcards. So many different shades of sky.
HT and Spindrift, yes it's a very red sky isn't it? You'd almost think there was a bush fire!

Our skies have been totally cloudless lately, so the evening skies are unphotographable.

Returning to Phnom Penh on the Tonle Sap River yesterday evening. The water is now nearly not moving so it might well be that when the King whacks the river in November with his sword it might actually reverse! He does it at a festival called Bon Om Tuk, the Cambodian water festival (not to be confused with the water throwing festival in April). For the last couple of years the monsoon has been so copious the river reversed long before the festival but this year it hasn't rained so much so maybe it'll coincide.

Wow, that river is really high. Do those houses get flooded out each year?

Post by bixaorellana on Sept 28, 2009 17:50:42 GMT
So interesting! What happens when the water reverses -- doesn't it cause a surge up onto the land? Also, is this a hoped-for event, so that the silt will enrich croplands?
