Cyclo and Street Scene at Phnom Penh Central Market, Ang Eng Street, Cambodia

A cyclo driver pedals past the Art Deco domed entrance of Phnom Penh's Central Market (Phsar Thmei) on Ang Eng Street. Completed in 1937, the market remains one of Cambodia's most iconic landmarks. This photograph captures the everyday rhythms of street life in the Cambodian capital during the mid-20th century, before decades of conflict transformed the country. Project: 218694
