Children and People of Cambodia

For nearly 30 years, Cambodia has been synonymous with civil war, suffering, even genocide. And while it seemed this small nation was finally on the road to recovery, the July 1997 coup shattered many peoples' hopes. But despite this setback, the Cambodian people - the Khmers - continue to hold out for a hopeful future. This hope can be seen in the faces of Cambodia's youth.

These pictures (the first 22) were taken at the farm of a relative of my wifes. When we arrived there were only a few children around, most were at the village school a few miles way. Within 30 minutes the word had spread that a 'forang' was in the village. I was taking pictures around the farm. I was suddenly surrounded by children, I felt a little like the Pied Piper, all wanting to have there picture taken. My wife tells me that I was the first 'farang' that the children had seen and that the children had left schoolto come and look at me.

The Lake District

fusion07.miller@googlemail.com (Ian Miller - Fusion Asia) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 21:18:36 GMT

The Lake District, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a rural area in north west England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells), and also its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets.

The central and most-visited part of the area is contained in the Lake District National Park - one of fourteen National parks in the United Kingdom. It lies entirely within Cumbria, and is one of England's few mountainous regions. All the land in England higher than three thousand feet above sea level lies within the National Park.

North-West
The north-western area stands between the valleys of Borrowdale and Buttermere, with Honister Pass joining the two dales. This area comprises the Newlands Fells (Dale Head, Robinson, Catbells) and the ridge joining them. To the north stand Grasmoor, Grisedale Pike and the hills around the valley of Coledale, and in the far north-west is Thornthwaite Forest and Lord's Seat. The fells in this area are rounded Skiddaw slate, with no tarns and few rock faces.

West
The western part is the area between Buttermere and Wasdale, with Sty Head forming the apex of a large triangle. Ennerdale bisects the area, which consists of the High Stile ridge north of Ennerdale, the Loweswater Fells in the far north west, the Pillar group in the south west, and Great Gable (2,949 ft) near Sty Head. Other tops include Seatallan, Haystacks and Kirk Fell. This area is craggy and steep, with the impressive pinnacle of Pillar Rock its showpiece. Wastwater, located in this part, is England's deepest lake.

Central
The central part is the lowest in terms of elevation. It takes the form of a long boot-shaped ridge running from Loughrigg Fell above Ambleside - a popular tourist destination - to Keswick, with Derwent Water on the west and Thirlmere on the east. The Langdale Pikes, with High Raise behind them, are another feature popular with walkers. The central ridge running north over High Seat is exceptionally boggy.

East
The eastern area consists of a long north-to-south ridge - the Helvellyn range, running from Clough Head to Seat Sandal with the 3,118-foot Helvellyn at its highest point. The western slopes of these summits tend to be grassy, with rocky corries and crags on the eastern side. The Fairfield group lies to the south of the range, and forms a similar pattern with towering rock faces and hidden valleys spilling into the Patterdale valley. It culminates in the height of Red Screes overlooking the Kirkstone Pass.

Far-East
The far-eastern fells lie on the other side of Patterdale and are characterised by steep sides leading up to a huge moorland plateau, again on a north–south axis. High Street is the highest point on the ridge, overlooking the hidden valley of Mardale and Haweswater. In the south of this region are the fells overlooking Kentmere, and to the east is Shap Fell, a huge area that is more akin to the Pennines than the Lakes, consisting of high flat moorland.

Mid-West
The mid-western fells form a triangular shape, with the corners at the Irish Sea, Borrowdale and Langdale. They comprise the Wastwater Screes overlooking Wasdale, the Glaramara ridge overlooking Borrowdale, the three tops of Crinkle Crags, Bowfell and Esk Pike overlooking

Fleetwood
The town was founded in 1836 by Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, and largely designed by Decimus Burton. It thrived as a seaport and a fishing port, and has more recently been known as a seaside resort.
The fishing industry was largely destroyed in the late 1960s by the Cod Wars—a dispute over fishing rights between Iceland and the United Kingdom. As Fleetwood's trawlers mainly fished the North Atlanticin search of cod, the loss of the fishing grounds hit the town hard.The last deep sea trawler left the town in 1982 and now only inshorefishing boats fish out of the port, although trawlers registered inother places can still be seen taking advantage of the fish market.Fish is still a big industry in the town, though the jobs are mainly inprocessing rather than fishing. A pair of bronze figures on the Promenade by the pier reflect the idea of families waving off the fishermen to sea.
Fleetwood is also famous for being the home of Fisherman's Friend—a menthol lozenge which is hugely popular in Japan.
Attractions in the town include The Mount pavilion and clock, Fleetwood Pier and the Pharos and Lower Lighthouses. More recently the shopping arcade of Freeport has attracted many visitors. Fleetwood is also home to a museum and lies at the northern end of Blackpool's tramway.
