Brateak Krola Lake, Cambodia

Posted by
Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 9 March 2016 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A beautiful lake in Kampot province, southern Cambodia near the border with Vietnam.

Sometimes called the 'Secret Lake' it has a dark history. It's an artificial lake built in the 1970s by the Khmer Rouge using forced labour and many Cambodians died during its construction.

For those of you with large screen computer monitors there's an alternative pano photo of the lake here:
