Caught By Surprise

Phnom Bakheng, Cambodia

Surprise......I suppose both were surprised to see each other, for me, she suddenly popped out from behind the tree and for her to see me with the camera. She was rather unusual from the `Mud Children' (those at the village). She had a very peculiar look which reminded me of a child from the jungle. Someone who was captured by the wolves and became their child. Maybe it's because of her filthy appearance and her bewildered expression (look at her clinging on to the tree trunk) but we jolly well know she is someone's daughter. I assume one of the land mind victim child as a group of them were playing some music outside the walkway to the temple grounds of Phnom Bakheng.
