Wow fantastic diaporama.
I am a bit puzzled by two things:
1/ the bridge seems to be in service when I thought it had been rendered unusable to slow down the vietnamese?
2/ what with all these young coconut trees that looks to me like 5 years old. Did the KR planted them after emptying the city? It makes little sense to me.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Having taken a leak on a small coconut tree in my auntie pochentong garden fresh off the plane from europe, I realised my mistake. The pictured trees I runcibled about must have been planted around or even before Lon Nol coup.
Interesting to see that one photo of the fountain working, meaning there was some power and water service restored already and kept serviceable during the dark years.
