Haunting

Definitely a reminder of how inhuman humans can be. And some people say that violent behavior makes someone an "animal". Ironic, isn't it? No animal I know subjects others of thier kind (or any kind) to such treatment as evidenced here.

such a depressing place

I've been there and have never felt such a depth of whoa and depression in my life. Interesting capture of the vacuous and empty feeling one gets from being there.

It is part of a series

... and I've uploaded a few more in it (I didn't have much of these scanned, I've just begun scanning my 35 rolls from my Thailand/Cambodia trip) I had never felt such a heavy weight on my heart as when I went to Choeung Ek and Tuol Sleng...
