A couple of days after I explored Phnom Penh's abandoned Olympic Stadium, I happened to spot a notice in the margin of the on-line Guardian. They were soliciting reader photos for a GuardianWitness feature on abandoned sports stadiums. How serendipitous!
Never mind that I'm an utterly incompetent photographer using the least expensive Canon point-and-pray camera on the market. It was too deliciously coincidental to pass up.
When I submitted my photo, I'd forgotten that I was logged into the Guardian web site with my cat's Facebook account, so the byline on my contribution has at least, I hope, given the editors some good laughs.
Here it is: My moment as a Phenomenal Penguin paparazzi.
I regret that no one posted a photo of the abandoned stadium in Tallinn, Estonia. That's another haunting spot.
I love it that the Crumps has now gained fame in the Guardian. I bet she's their first feline correspondent. Love the photo. Love that little black cat more.
