Bokor Catholic Church, Kampot, Cambodia
28 gennaio 2024, Cambogia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
A hundred year old church built by the french during occupation, although still in use it has a far more apocalyptic vibe to it now and stands oddly on a skyline more familiar with wats and pagodas.
Bokor Hill Station, Kampot, Cambodia
28 gennaio 2024, Cambogia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

Street Murals, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
2 febbraio 2024, Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
