The Sky

 

 

“The sky is the daily bread of the eyes”

 Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sharing some images of the beautiful skies of Cambodia. The glorious mornings, the splendid sunsets, richly clouded daytime sky…

Cambodia is a land of splendid sunsets!

Fire and smoke in the sunset sky!

an evening cloud as the backdrop of Naga bridge,Phnom Penh

‘This is the land that sunset washes…these are the banks of the yellow sea.’

A favourite of my Emily Dickinson lines, most of hers leave me wonder whether she has lived in Cambodia!

Softly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon

Like a magician extended his golden wand o’er the landscape…-Longfellow

The sky after a short spell of rain.

”Oh! Deeply, darkly beautifully blue/ Someone somewhere sings about the sky”- Lord Byron

A day time sky

A glorious morning at Phnom Penh

Blissful Phnom Penh mornings!

‘Clouds on clouds, in volumes driven, Curtain round the vault of heaven’…
(Thomas Love Peacock)

A cloud in a hurry!
