Photo shows three khmer children aiming their colourful water guns and shooting sprays of water at the photographer, as part of the Sangkran Festival celebrations of a new khmer / Buddhist year. They are on a sidewalk of aa asian city street, and to the left there is a t-shirt store selling t-shirts in strong, vivid colours. Outside the next store, behind the kids, another store has put out storage containers for water and ice, meant for refilling water guns and for chilling bottles of drinking water and sodas for thirsty customers.
Happy Sangkran Festival, the celebration of leaving the old year and welcoming the new one by washing away all that was bad and evil in the old year with copious amounts of water.
Preferably by a water gun.
