Cambodian Cow. Travel Photo #88.

I flew back into Melbourne yesterday, from a month in Southeast Asia. I have about 1500 shots from the trip, way too many to immediately sort through or process. Of course, probably 200-300 of these will be used for something, or have any artistic or cultural merit. The rest are basically travel documentation. Both are equally valuable though, it’s just a big job to sort through them all. In the meantime, however, here’s a cow. She was tethered to a stump on a patch of grass in a place called Kampot, a quiet river town in Cambodia near the Vietnamese border. It has a French feel to it, and is most famous for it’s production of black pepper which can be found in it’s fresh form in many dishes in local restaurants. It’s also famous for durian. Coming from Australia we have a big prawn, a big pineapple, a big banana… and Kampot has, in the centre of the central roundabout in town, a Big Durian. Anyway, it’s new years eve. I’ll tell you more about the trip and get through all these shots as I get time. In the meantime, here’s a cow.

Happy New Year everyone!
