First trip to Phnom Penh, Cambodia
I traveled to Phnom Penh, Cambodia in January 2003 to do work for the USAID Mission there.

Mountains over Alaska

Our first sight of land 12 hours later: the mouth of the Tone River entering the Pacific at Chōshi, Japan (on the way to Toyko-Narita International Airport)

Outside Bangkok from the air (Bang Pakong River at Bang Krut)
