The bamboo train, called “Norry” in Khmer, is an original form of rail transport that can be seen on the railway that crosses through Cambodia. A norry consists of a bamboo tray about 2.5 x 4 meters assembled with two axles similar to heavy weights and powered by a small engine. He runs on the Cambodian railway.
Cambodia Paper
Cambodia, located at the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, is the heir to one of the region’s greatest civilizations: the Khmer Empire. Between the 9th and 15th centuries, this powerful kingdom built monumental cities, of which Angkor remains the most spectacular legacy. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument ever constructed and one of the finest masterpieces of Khmer architecture.
The photographs in this category invite you to discover this extraordinary heritage, while also exploring the landscapes and everyday life of modern Cambodia. Beyond the temples reclaimed by the jungle, rice fields, traditional villages and the warm smiles of the Cambodian people reveal a country whose greatest wealth lies not only in its history but also in its living culture.
Through these photographs, I invite you to discover a Cambodia where carved stones tell more than a thousand years of history, while everyday life continues to unfold peacefully along the rhythm of the seasons and the Mekong.
