New Year

This was taken at Wat Phnom in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on the last day of Khmer New Year. The wat was abuzz with activity that day. She was with a number of people (probably family) and she quickly poked her head out of the main sanctuary to fan out the joss sticks that she had just lit. She then proceeded to separate them out to the people that were with her and they continued to the many shrines on the surrounding the main sanctuary. I last saw them leaving a few joss sticks at the shrine of Madame Penh and then pouring water on their heads as a sign of cleansing.
