A Photograpic Journey to Luang Prabang, Laos and Angkor Wat, Cambodia
James Turley will present a hi-res photographic travelogue (with some
linguistic content) of his recent travels to the mountains and jungles
of Laos and Cambodia. In Laos, he was fortunate to arrive at the
beginning of "Lao Pi Mai" Buddhist New Year Water Festival. You're
sure to enjoy the climax of the festivities, with the crowning of Miss
Lao New Year in the historic Royal City of Luang Prabang.
From there, follow him down the Mekong to Siem Reap, Cambodia, the
gateway to the stunning temple complex of Angkor Wat. Explore the
strangled temples of the hidden city of Angkor Thom adorned everywhere
by lovely Apsaras, mythical temple fairies. Examine ancient Sanskrit
and Khmer inscriptions on these old temples.
James Turley runs a small localization consulting company specializing
in obscure Asian locales. At night, he runs an Internet site
publishing astronomical images from the great observatories of the
world. James loves to travel, and when he's not traveling, he's
planning his next trip.
