Every year, the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, holds a three-day "Water Festival" to commemorate the end of the rainy season and the change in the flow of the Tonlé Sap River. The festival attracts several million people each year. This image was taken during the fireworks that conclude the festival.
