Under the Temple Sun: II

Under the Temple Sun: II
April 2005 in the Angkor temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia

Bright sunshine, tropical heat and humidity � the like of which I had never encountered � along with the ancient mysteries that draw tourists year after year are part and parcel in Angkor. The rosy tone of the stone used to construct Bantay Srei is brilliant under the full sun. A brilliant idea on the part of many tourists is revealed in the creation of shade by an umbrella. Seeing umbrellas seems situationally ironic in the sunny, 100+ degree weather as hot season draws to a close during April � rainy season soon to make the umbrellas serve a more typical function.

* Half of the profit will be donated to assist with ongoing tsunami relief efforts in Thailand.

The profit will be determined by taking the overall proceeds from the sales and subtracting the expenses for film processing and framing the images for the shows. The funds will be provided to specific individuals I met on my trip (not organizations) who are still in the Thailand area helping with recovery projects. The individuals receiving the funds are charged with finding locals in need of the funds and dispensing them accordingly for relief projects. [For example, contributions I personally provided to one of these individuals went to paying for school tuition for the daughter of one of the shopkeepers whose store was destroyed in the tsunami. Other such private donations have bought engines for fishing boats, books to replace those lost in the tsunami, etc. My personal experience while in Thailand was the funds being doled out by volunteers who had direct exposure to individuals, in the communities hardest hit by the tsumani, were those funds being best allocated. The volunteers would accompany the tsunami survivor to pay the school fees to the school directly or to buy the engine directly instead of money being handed out.]
