Dag-Rune ZVeareak Laeung Sak: Third Day of Khmer New Year<br> <br> Veareak Laeung Sak, the Khmer name for the third day of New Year celebrations, is dedicated to a cleansing ritual involving Buddha statues and the senior family members. <br> <br> The ritual employs perfumed water and shares the same symbolism as the use of water throughout the New Year festivities: washing away the misdeeds and words of the past year to pave the way for a brighter new year. This act also represents kindness and care, believed to bring happiness, prosperity, longevity, and joy. <br> <br> For those who may have taken a brief pause from the water fights and talcum powder sprinkling on the second day, the third day offers a chance to rejoin the fun with those who never stopped. <br> <br> From the afternoon through to the evening, venturing outdoors on wheels becomes almost impossible without being drenched in water and dusted with what remains of the talcum powder. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/VeareakLaeungSak?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VeareakLaeungSak</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Khmer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Khmer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/thirdday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thirdday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/New?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#New</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Year?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Year</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/celebrations?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#celebrations</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/angkor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#angkor</a> #<a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chnamthmey?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chnamthmey</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Cultural?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cultural</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Heritage?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Heritage</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/family?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#family</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/washing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#washing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/health?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/seniorkhmer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seniorkhmer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/khmer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#khmer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/culture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NewYear?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewYear</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ceremony?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ceremony</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sangkran?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sangkran</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sankranta?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sankranta</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Street?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Street</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetparty?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetparty</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stalls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stalls</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/travel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travel</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/water?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/waterguns?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waterguns</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/waterpistols?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waterpistols</a>

Dag-Rune ZI call it a dancing tree of life<br> <br> It is a classic shot of one of the main entrances to Ta Prohm Temple, but sometimes cliché becomes iconic.<br> <br> The Ta Prohm is somehow most known for its tall trees and solid root system entangled in the buildings structure.<br> <br> But it is also one of the more challenging temples to explore, because the structure itself, the park around it and the entrance gates. The area is so filled with interesting details and unexpected turns and ideas. This is one of the temples worth spending some time studying.<br> <br> Ta Prohm (Khmer: ប្រាសាទតាព្រហ្ម, "Ancestor Brahma") is the modern name of the structure. Originally it was called Rajavihara (Khmer: រាជវិហារ, "royal monastery"). It was built during the reign of Jayavarman VII, the great ruler who is known for Bayon, the final version of Angkor Thom city and other massive social public works like hospitals and safe guesthouses all over the realm.<br> <br> It was a monastery and university, build to honour the kings mother, with the gates honouring his brother and his guru. At the peak of its operation, 12 500 people lived within Ta Phrom temple complex and appx 80 000 lived in villages around it, supporting the institution.<br> <br> <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta_Prohm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta_Prohm</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Angelina?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Angelina</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/moment?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moment</a>" <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dancing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dancing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tree?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tree</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/life?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#life</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/treeoflife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#treeoflife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jolie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jolie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/siem?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siem</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/reab?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reab</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/siemreap?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siemreap</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cambodia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cambodia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kampuchea?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kampuchea</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/worldheritage?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldheritage</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/khmer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#khmer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/khmerempire?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#khmerempire</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/worldculturalheritage?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldculturalheritage</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mobilephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mobilephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/2018CE?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#2018CE</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/angkor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#angkor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/goldenage?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goldenage</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/taprohm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taprohm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ta?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ta</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Prohm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prohm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/J7?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#J7</a>

Dag-Rune ZThe sunset warm temple by the icy blue pond<br> <br> This temple complex in the north of Cambodia, on the border mountain range to the large northeast Isaan-region of Thailand, lays the levelled temple complex of Preah Vihear.<br> <br> The name "Preah Vihear" comes from the Khmer words "Preah" (sacred) and "Vihear" (abode or shrine). The temple is also sometimes referred to as "Phnom Preah Vihear" (mountain of Preah Vihear). <br> <br> The large temple complex was built during a century one thousand years ago. It has been a Cambodian World Cultural Heritage site for nearly twenty years. <br> <br> As a tourist attraction, the temple is a popular travelling target with all the usual and some unique reasons. The location and the view and outlook of the surrounding areas are special. The combination of several Angkor art and architectural styles into one complex is very interesting.<br> <br> It is a mountain temple, but the access is easy going after you have paid someone with 4x4 to drive you up.
