Twobar Clownfish

Emma Booysen Photography

My photography as a hobby started underwater. It is an amazing, different, colorful world underwater. We have done many dives at Aliwal shoal, Umkomaas where I have captured this twobar clownfish.

Time

Emma Booysen Photography

It has been a long time since my last post. Everybody, including myself, are always busy. We are now entering a new time period. Some people may experience that it will be more busy (medical staff, emergency staff, scientists, etc.). Others may experience "we don't know what to do" with the time. We have entered a 21 day lock down period from 00:00 to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. For myself I am going to try again to share my images. Enjoy the journey with me.

It is highly recommended to do sunrise at Ankor Wat. Even though there was no spectacular clouds, I still loved the photos I got.

Bayon – Cambodia

 

Emma Booysen Photography

One of my favorite temples to visit in Siem Reap is the Bayon. The Bayon’s most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak (Wiki).

Siem Reap became a very popular for touring as there are many ancient temples of which Angkor Wat is probably the most famous one. This one is East Mebon, a 10th Century temple at Angkor.
