There is a very interesting outdoor photo exhibition on Sisowath Quay behind the Himarawi apartments along to just path the Cambodiana. I have no idea why it is tucked away there but many must have missed it.

It is about a 40 year period of urban development between 1979 - 2019 an some of the early photos are very moving. Many of you who have been here for a long time will surely recognise many of the landmarks immediately. There is some narrative as well, but I am always on my way somewhere so I have yet to give it the attention it deserves.

I have take a few pictures so you have a taste, but they do it no justice - go and see for yourself.

Some of Kevin Bolton's work is in there:

Chroy Changvar, Tonle Sap river, Phnom Penh. Further up from the vegetable plots was an area used as a park,
which had a football pitch and cows and goats grazing. Larger vessels would drop anchor and often stay put for months.
The construction of the Himawari Hotel is seen down river, and the Naga Boat. Photo taken 1998
