Kep Sea and River
I settled into a comfortable routine in the Kep crab village after a while. Up early to catch the sunrise and take some long exposure seascapes. Then coffee watching the sun come up over the lagoon, and then the rest of the morning shooting the crab ladies and the fishermen at work, followed by lunch/swim/snooze and more seascapes at sunset. This comprises the first set of photos in this album.
After a week I started to explore the larger Kep town around the headland, and immediately found an excellent french boulangerie and cafe next to a natural harbour. This seemed to have everything including a hotel next door so I moved in and started to photograph the seascapes of that area, and of fishing communities farther south on the coast. This is the second third of the images (the title tells you where it is).
While in Kep town, I met a delightful couple who owned Sabay Beach, a boutique retreat upriver from Kampot (the regional capital) with scenic sunset views over the river and distant hills. They kindly invited me to photograph the sunset there, and the resulting images make up the last quarter of this album.
Photographs in this album include: Kep seascapes, Kep village seascapes, Sabay beach riverscapes, and more.
