Artwork description:

This photograph is from my travels through Cambodia and was taken on the streets of central Battambang. I found this scene particularly bleak, and it's like time is standing still.
We arrived in Cambodia from Laos on a very packed bus to Siem Riep from Nakasan village in the 4000 Islands. Although a must-see it has become very over-run by tourists from all corners of the world, so after experiencing the manic tourists crawling all over Siem Riep it was good to arrive in quiet and laid back Battambang with its old crumbling French colonial buildings, Buddhist temples and the great food market at Phsar Nath - the central market. First thing we did after securing our accommodation for the next few nights was to do the self-guided architectural walk downloaded from "KA Tours" to see the highlights and this series of images were mainly from this walk. Another big highlight was a cooking class with Vannak at the "Smoking Pot" restaurant, and if you're ever in Battambang we can recommend this very highly.
