Here's my comeback entry for Photo Hunt:

The purple skies of Kep, with the Bokor Mountain on the horizon.

This was taken last year while I'm on holiday with my husband at, where else but our favorite Kep. I said it before, and I'll say it again: Kep, arguably has the best sunset in Cambodia. Sure, some of you heard about or experienced purple haze, or have listened to the song Purple Rain, but how many of you have ever witnessed a purple sky? Not many, and not that often, I suppose.

On one August afternoon (last year), as soon as the sun started to descend on the horizon, my husband and I watched the sky as it changed colors. The sky was splashed with shades of purple, fortunately for us, it was well captured by our ever-reliable point-and-shoot digi-cam. No alterations via Photoshop or other editing programs have been done in this photo. 

The sunset was a perfect background for our dinner and set the tone for a wonderful, relaxing night. Beat that.

Perhaps due to differences in computer settings, the color might appear different when you view it in your monitor.
