Hello Paul,
13 years after my visit, and obviously a very different city. I posted 5 photos from Kampot town and two more from the province. I quote my note for the last one:

"This is from Kampot in southern Cambodia, which in 2007 was an emerging tourist destination but still far from overrun by foreign visitors. Having no sandy beaches and no ancient temples it couldn't compete with places like Siem Reap (Angkor) or the seaside paradise Sihanoukville. I enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere and well preserved colonial architecture and was quite pleased to meet more Cambodians than Europeans in the streets."

It's sad when tourism takes a bite of a place and sucks out all its charm. That obviously happened here. Still you managed two perfectly decent photos. The late afternoon light as usual produced very attractive colours.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Paul,so it is a quiet city, there are no top attractions but the environment is relaxing and it is easy to make friends with other tourists. Interesting place, the two photos were taken in an excellent moment, the strong light and the play of shadows give a remarkable effect. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Paul
very interesting note, to see how you interpreted this experience. I like your comment...my travel guide and I didn't have the same interpretation of the term 'ambience' hahaa.
I would absolutely hate a place like this, get me outta here.
maybe in the evening the tourists party, maybe that's part of it too. but I get the sense i'd be bored as well. thanks for the warning haha. I see more tourists in the shot than locals.
cheers
Craig

Salut Paul,
Intιressante vue de cette rue et de ces faηades, une impression de scθne de vie quotidienne locale, bon effet avec ce jeu d'ombres et de lumiθres, bien gιrιs ces contrastes, merci du partage.

Hello Paul,

The colonial buildings are nice but the signage has created visual pollution, which spoils the scene somewhat. Not your fault of course. I quite often find that places heavily spruiked in travel guides are somewhat disappointing up close and personal. On the plus side, it's great to discover a hidden gem as well, that the travel guides have either overlooked or downplayed. Fantastic color and sharpness here and I like the fg shadow play. Tfs!

Pozdrav.

Lep pogled, interesantan i dobar tekst ...
Lepa moderna kocija i fasade u pozadini, dobro pokzano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i perspektivom.
Dobar rad sa fotografijom u radionici i uhvaceni trenutak.

Zelim vam lepo popodne, sve najbolje za vikend.

Hello Paul, it is disappointing when a place turns out to be quite different to what one was expecting.
The architecture seems to have seen better days, the ground level marred by the various signs.
For those of us who will probably never visit these places the shots are very interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Paul,

This is a really colourful scene, created by the parasols and balconies.
The houses do look attractive but well done for adding that very unusual turk tuk, in the f/g. It is both fascinating and makes a strong focal point.

My warm regards,
Bev 😊
