Description:
Prasat Muang Tham ruïnes in the North-East of Thailand marks one end of the Ancient Khmer Highway from Angkor nearby the border of Cambodia. It must have been an important city in the Khmer empire. Most buildings are from the late 11th to the late 12th century, built in the Baphuon, Bayon and Angkor Wat style. The first inventory of the ruins was done in 1901 by the French geographer Etienne Aymonier. I catch these boys fishing with their self made fishing gear. Only one boy did noticed me :) Photo taken June 1992 - Minolta X-700 SLR camera. No photoshop used

Astrid inderdaad gaat het om de 2 boys, maar de ruïne op de achtergrond is de finishing touch!

ik zit je intervieuw in DE DOKA te snel lezen, super leuk het constrast tussen deze kinderen, jij zegt wel dingen in het intervieuw die erg mening om het mening zijn ha ha, want de kracht van deze pic zit hem niet in de compo en wel in de 2 boys, ha ha.

I LOVE everything about this: the ruins in the background, the boy's posture as he stands on a rock, the stick pole for fishing, and the little guy peeking at you getting his pic and his smile! Just a great shot. Complimenti da: Una foto per unire il mondo - Compliments from: One photo to unite the world.

Wat een schitterende foto Ben!! Heel leuk om te zien hoe ingespannen de jongens aan het vissen zijn tegen de achtergrond van de ruïne!

Wat een leuke foto, dat is wat anders dan die vissers bij ons in de buurt die je dan ziet gaan met een complete aanhangwagen met een complete viswinkel:) achter de fiets!

I don't believe it's possible to comment on this better than it was put by Lucy_nka. But I want to add that your entire photostream is worth viewing. I discovered many favorites. I'm glad you post them all in a size that makes it possible to fully appreciate them.

Geweldige foto is dit....

OliveEyel says :13/Jul/2007 15:07:12
Very cool place! I love old ancient ruins of any kind. This reminds me of King Louie's place in the Jungle Book movie. Nice candid capture with the kids 2. Great shot my friend. ; ) PS. No, I was not on Holiday.... I go there regularly since it's not 2 far away from where I live, (1 hour) if I went on Holiday I'd rather go somewhere like this!

Haggis Chick says :11/Jul/2007 16:43:27
This is such a fab shot although the unbalanced building isn't just doing it for me. Something just doesn't seem right. The colours and everything else is fantastic though Ben. Just my opinion but hey what the hell do I know about scenerey pics :-)

Phil & Delph says :11/Jul/2007 10:13:25
The balance of the fishing boy squatting on a big root, in contrast with the strange unbalanced decay of the temple in the background... Great!

Ik dacht dat je de foto scheef genomen had maar lees dat het de ruine is die scheef staat. Zie daar maar eens een horizon op te bepalen. Mooi beeld.

That's a beautiful place to go fishing! Nice one! =)

vandrende says :9/Jul/2007 07:44:03
This is very special: this monumental ancient building that no one ever before would have anticipated it could fall over and this frail little boy which seems to have been holding a perfect improbable balance for ages. Well done!

Very nice catch Ben O_O (gallery & instructions)
