amputee band

We were walking through the middle of the jungle. Angkor ruins, Siem Reap, Peoples Republic of Cambodia. The cicadas are screaming like syrens. Its near deafening.

Up ahead is a group of men, filthy and playing old brass instruments and make shift drums.

Theyre all missing either a leg, an arm, or there eyes are sunken into there heads and non existant.

The sign in front of them reads: Cambodian Victims of Landmines Band.

And you know you're in the shit.

These were taken in Cambodia, at the Preah Khan jungle temple at the Angkor ruins in Cambodia... Its curious what nature can do to man made intrusions. Its almost like an overzealous decorator. It makes for beautiful pictures:
