I saw this woman selling fruit on Monivong Blvd. in Phnom Penh Cambodia. She was squatting in the shade of a of a small tree between a boundary wall and a 4×4 vehicle. I love the whimsical look on her face. Her face says a thousand words.

Out of all the images I captured of the Temples of Cambodia – this images draws the most breath – why would one try to reverse this process?
