Photo shows a female macaque monkey with a slightly world weary, experienced and exasperated look on her face. She is sitting on the edge a stone platform with her hands gripping the stone in front of her. Behind her the platform ends in a rough stone and earthwork wall. The platform and wall are in shadow, and comes out in a cold blue colour tone. Part of the platform and the lady is lit up by sun, and the brown-yellow fur with the white hair in her head is clearly a warmer colour tone than the platform and background. The white and light brown hair on her head and framing her face is slightly back lit, giving a light corona-type framing. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor and Battambang warmly welcomes visitors.

Greetings from Granny Sampov

Met this not easily impressed lady macaque in the temple complex on top of Phnom Sampov, outside Battambang.

Got a feeling she wondered why
you are not married yet, settled down and started a proper family.

Photo shows a green hammock hanging between some colourful pillars. From the hammock a couple of feet tells of an occupant. A couple of yellow slippers under the hammock of the type used in Buddhist monasteries informs of the occupant’s duties. In the background there is a room with walls on three sides, all painted with religious stories from one-third up the wall. The lowest part of the wall is light green. A large windows opening in the centre of the wall is closed by doors designed as a lotus in deep, green colours. A clothing of sort hangs on the windows handle. Some deep red carpets are rolled together and placed alongside the wall. The floor is lightly cobalt blue. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor and Battambang warmly welcomes visitors.

A nap in a restful and colourful place

The mountain of Phnom Sampov outside Battambang is a collection of beautiful temples and monasteries in several variations and locations.

Several outlooks gives a fantastic view to the countryside, too.
