Photos from Koh Pich Bridge on Sunday 28 Nov.

Wreaths and bouquets of flowers from embassies and individuals lined the entrance of the Koh Pich bridge, which has been cordoned off. Incredible to comprehend that hundreds of people died at one moment in time on this tiny bridge, which takes less than a minute to walk across.

Folded white and pink lotus flowers piled in mounds with incense, surrounded by rows of wreaths and fake $100 dollar bills littering and fluttering about on the ground - offerings to the dead, should they need currency in the afterlife.
The swaying bridge of Koh Pich, a very contained scene for the deaths of hundreds - incomprehensible.

A relatively small, short swaying bridge containing the corpse of hundreds in one moment earlier this week. Police keeping watch under the shades.
Small, short swaying Koh Pich bridge, site of tragedy which took lives of hundreds in a blink of an eye. Life is but a breath.
