Phnom Penh, Cambodia, October 2012.
In the Royal palace of Phnom Penh, big pools contain water lilies. This one was facing the sunset, like to tan a bit more for the last moment of daylight and also proudly showing its beautiful colours.
Between Hue and Hoi An, Vietnam, May 2013.

Our first encounter with a toucan, very far from its natural habitat.
