Chill is in the air...

3/12/2013

Winter is here!

Mere 20 degrees and my a/c pony finally gets some rest. Hot shower is a must and the bathroom door remains firmly shut to eliminate any kind of breeze; my skin prickles nonetheless.  Mornings arrive crisp and clear with a hint of smoke in the air. My neighbours with obsessive compulsive sweeping disorder have to work harder than usual to keep their front yard leaf free.

My floor tiles are cold. Even mid-day breeze is refreshing and I finally remember the sensation of shoes on my feet again.

Cycling all day produces almost no sweat – an unknown phenomenon.

The sky is deep blue and the air is dry. My hair doesn’t know frizz anymore.

I make myself a hot chocolate and put socks on as the evening draws near.

The bats fly over in the remaining traces of red and stars come out one by one, bright as little diamonds on dark blue velvet.

The air is fragrant and cicadas are singing their evening song.

The winter is finally here. I am absorbing every cool moment of it and enjoying it while it lasts!

No snow in sight but second layer comes on nonetheless!

The chill is creeping in

Into the sunset - young kids head home as the sun is setting and shadows grow longer.

Underwater - surprises lurk the countryside. Soon, with falling water levels this world will give way to rice harvest and dust.

    Never still, always on the move, looking for the perfect capture... Cambodia is currently my home, presenting endless opportunities....

    Warning

    In this blog you will find no profound wisdom. 
    Just accounts of daily life, sometimes about photography, often about wine, occasionally about travel adventures  and sometimes about nothing at all. 
    So enjoy.
